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
