Endnote numbers not superscript

[JHawk]

I found this macro that changes the endnote number to regular size
rather than superscript. It works fine on documents that have already
been created with endnotes with regular numbers.

When I use this macro in a new document, the numbers are in lower case
roman numbers (i.e., i, ii,iii) and I see no way to change it.

I don't think that the macro has anything to do with the type of numerals
that are being used. That is controlled by the Number format control in the
Footnote and Endnote dialog.

And *no one* has any clue what Microsoft was thinking when lowercase roman
numerals were selected as the default number format for endnote numbering!

Unfortunately this macro bypasses the endnote/footnote dialog. So you
have no chance to change the numbering screen. Running the macro takes
you directly to the place to write the endnote but unfortunately with
roman numerals.

You need to change the endnote numbering first, in Insert | Reference |
Footnote (Endnote): Number format.

Once the macro is created it replaces the normal footnote/endnote
routine. Using the toolbar insert footnote/endnote just uses the macro
routine.

The only thing that works with the macro is to first not have it all.
Start the document with regular numbers. Then create the macro and
then it will use regular numbers. Rather time consuming creating and
deleting the macro again and again.

If you have the macro in place when you start Word even without running
the macro, you get roman numerals.

You need change the number format only once: in Normal.dot or your document
template. Then it will be correct in all subsequent documents. Then add the
macro to Normal.dot or your document template, and you should be in
business. Alternatively, you could give the macro a different name (so that
it didn't intercept the built-in command) and run it from a shortcut or
toolbar button.

Yes, your fixes both worked. Thanks!
