SYMPTOMS
Using the "For Each...Next" statement in a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro or procedure to return footnotes, endnotes, or comments for a designated paragraph returns all footnotes, endnotes, or comments in the document.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.

Use 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



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
