http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/refguide/default.aspUse a "For...Next" loop with the Footnotes, Endnotes, or Comments collection instead of the "For Each...Next" loop. The following sample Visual Basic macro uses a "For...Next" loop to extract the endnotes for a specified paragraph.
Sub ReturnNotesInParagraph() Dim iCount As Integer Dim oNote As Object Dim iParaNum As Integer ' Set the paragraph to return notes. iParaNum = 1 ' NOTE: If the specified paragraph does not exist ' in the active document, an error occurs. If ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count >= iParaNum Then Set oNote = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(iParaNum).Range.Endnotes For iCount = 1 To oNote.Count MsgBox oNote(iCount).Range.Text Next Else MsgBox "The specified paragraph does not exist." End If End Sub STATUSMicrosoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
