SYMPTOMS
When you use a "For Each...Next" loop in a Visual Basic for Applications macro to return the footnotes, endnotes, or comments for a specified paragraph, the macro returns all footnotes, endnotes, or comments contained in the entire document.

To work around this problem, use a "For...Next" loop with the Footnotes, Endnotes, or Comments collection instead of the "For Each...Next" loop.

The following Visual Basic for Applications macro example 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 will occur. 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



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
