Can I change the whole document so that footnotes appear afte
fullstop/period in the one one action/fix? I have about 350 footnote
although not all are wrong.

I must have accidently put footnotes in superscript before th
period/full stop in the text of a very long manuscript or when I wa
doing some altering it happend. Maybe it was my eyes which are bad. I
is the style i want

many thank

In the Find and Replace dialog box (Ctrl+H), select the "Use wildcards"
option. Then enter the following:

"Find what": (^2)(.)

"Replace with": \2\1

Click Replace All.

I'm glad it worked for you. :-)

Indeed, wildcard searches are very powerful! If you want to learn more, take

Wow I looked at it - scary but a "must know" for anyone writing complex
or long douments. Handy for editing. I will certainly print it out. Wel
done to all the contributors. I wish someone would write and up to dat
code on how to change superscript in footnote into an ordinary size
number with a full stop and space. A permanent fix for normal template.
Also how to implement the code. The only one that exists is for a ver
old version of Word and not applicable.
Lots of lovely screenshots would be good
many thanks for your time

I see a new question hiding in your reply. :-)

If you are referring to the macro presented in the article at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/unsuperscptfnotes.htm, note that it can
still be used in Word 2007 and 2010, with a minor adjustment, as follows: In
addition to the InsertFootnote sub, you must add a second sub called
InsertFootnoteNow, containing the same lines of code. (This applies to the
endnotes macro as well.)

Yes I found that out thanks. Someone kindly made a new code but I am no
familiar with macros so I had to pay someone to take me through it ste
by step with screenshots. This person added the extra code. However i
didn't have the full stop. I had put a shortcut on word (as I had bee
directed to do). I just clicked this and I go exactly what I wanted
Unintentionally I think. It is now a number, full stop a space the sam
size as my indent in macro and the references are showned in blocke
text.This is brilliant and what I preferred.
Thank you for your time. Others will benefit by knowing to add the extr
code.
Cant post this as I get a message that the messge is too short.!! I hop
this does it!

I'm glad you got it sorted! Thanks for the follow-up.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the error message you are seeing... I guess you
are posting via a web site? You could make use of a traditional Usenet
newsreader (such as Windows Live Mail or Thunderbird); it does require that
you register with a web site for newsgroup access (for example, you can do
that via www.enternal-september.org).

If you do want to try the newsreader approach, note that the link to the
site I mentioned is incorrect. The correct link is:
http://www.eternal-september.org.
