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
