[Peter T. Daniels]

I've just received a ms. from an author who ended every one of
hundreds of footnotes with Enter, which results in what looks on
screen like a sequence of paragraph marks -- the Enter plus the end-of-
footnote mark -- but ^p^p doesn't find them.

(I can't just delete all paragraph marks, because of multi-paragraph
footnotes.)

[Graham Mayor]

Try ^13 in place of ^p

^13^13 found the sequence ok, but I couldn't find something to put in
the Replace box that worked.

(^13)(^13) Replace with \2 and Use Wildcards didn't do anything,
either.

Nope; it's easy to Find the sequence -- ^13^13 and (^13)(^13)
Wildcards both work -- but Replace with any of ^13, ^p, or \2 does
nothing but send the cursor back to where it was when I clicked Find.

I guess I meant if you're not using wildcards (you don't have to be to use
^13). But Word can be extremely bloody-minded about paragraph marks
sometimes--in footnotes, between tables, etc. While it may be possible to
write a macro to take care of this (though ISTR that even a macro wouldn't
do it for paragraph breaks between tables), in the long run you may just
have to go through and do this by hand (using Delete or Backspace, whichever
works).

If all else fails (oh, joy!), you may have to copy the text of an existing
footnote (without the paragraph marks), delete the footnote reference in the
document body, insert a new footnote, and paste the copied content into it.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Mr. Daniels,

You might be able to clean them up with the macro posted below. Very
limited testing (two section document with a few footnotes - each
footnote ended using the enter key once). If you decide to try this,
I suggest running it on a copy of the document first.

Sub ScratchMaco()
Dim oFN As Footnote
Dim i As Long
For Each oFN In ThisDocument.Footnotes
oFN.Range.Select
With Selection
.Collapse wdCollapseStart
.Expand Unit:=wdParagraph
.MoveStartUntil Cset:=vbCr
On Error Resume Next
.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End With
'Add to clean up a spurious space added at the end of the footnotes as
they were processed.
If oFN.Index ThisDocument.Footnotes.Count Then
oFN.Range.Select
oFN.Range.Characters.Last = "@"
oFN.Range.Characters.Last.Delete
End If
Next
End Sub

That doesn't mean they are any better at it than the general run of users,
though. You'd be amazed how many people use Word all the time with no real

Mr. Daniels,

That is probably my fault as I used "ThisDocument" vice "ActiveDocument" in
the code. You most likely placed the macro in a template before pinning it
to the QAT. Changing ThisDocument to ActiveDoucment should work (it does
here) but the code was clunky to begin with. Try this instead:

Sub ScratchMaco()
Dim oFN As Footnote
Dim i As Long
For Each oFN In ActiveDocument.Footnotes
On Error Resume Next
Do While Asc(oFN.Range.Characters.Last) = 13
oFN.Range.Characters.Last.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Loop
Next
End Sub

It states, "As you may have found in the previous section, using the Macro
dialog box is not the most efficient way to run your macros. Ideally,
running a macro should be as simple as clicking a button or pressing a
keyboard shortcut."

Perhaps I should have indicated using the Macro dialog box isn't the most
efficient way to run macros you intend to use repeatedly. :-)

It also explains why it is not possible to have multiple footnotes on the

(But Word still leaves all the space that all the separate notes would
occupy, Suzanne has reported.)

It would be nice if that were fixed. In hot type books, it was very
usual to put two and three short reference footnotes on one line (a
column of such things under the left side of a text block looks quite
unbalanced). With large pages, it was quite common to have two columns
of footnotes under a single column of text -- that would be a nearly
adequate substitute for not being able to put several in one line.

Perhaps I should have indicated using the Macro dialog box isn't the most
efficient way to run macros you intend to use repeatedly. :-)

The Macro dialog box was mentioned in section on recording macros. Also, as
noted at the beginning of the chapter, it doesn't begin to encompass macros
and VBA and is intended for those who are beginners. I'd have loved to have
been able to add more on the subject but was already pushing the scope of
the intended audience by including a portion on editing.

(I scaned the previous section for instructions on running a macro
with a dialog box, but it was about recording macros. Maybe I didn't
go back far enough.)
