WORD 2003 note / table formatting
I have been sent a text MS Word 2003 file from my publisher that appears to
have the endnotes of a long text chapter listed at the end (not imbeded) but set/formatted in some odd sort of table styles that scroll off the text to the right off the page and that have an odd square character at the front of each note. Each note has lines around it. I have absolutely no experience with Word table styles, and just want to get rid of this table formatting entirely, to get normal text. The styles pane lists many kinds of table styles. How do I get rid of ALL of them from the text? thanks. |

If that is correct, and you run a macro containing the following code, it will insert the comment into the text of the document, enclosing it in square brackets [ ] Dim ac As Comment With ActiveDocument For Each ac In .Comments ac.Reference.InsertAfter " [" & ac.Range & "]" ac.Delete Next ac End With -- Hope this helps.
