endnote reference characters format

[Guest]

I have a document with 50 endnotes, and all of the reference numbers are
formatted as normal characters rather than superscript. How can I change the
formatting of all of the endnote reference numbers to superscript?

Check first to make sure that the Endnote Reference character style has not
been modified. If it has, then updating the reference numbers will be a
simple matter of adding Superscript to the style formatting. If the style
still includes Superscript, then most likely the style has been removed from
the endnote references and you'll need to reapply it.

Assuming that the endnotes were created via the Footnote and Endnote
dialog box (that is, via the Insert menu), it should be sufficient to
modify the Endnote Reference paragraph style to include the
superscript attribute.

You can use the Modify Style dialog box to modify a style. If you need
help displaying this dialog box, see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ModifyAStyle.html. In this
particular case, you have to access the Font dialog box (since the
superscript attribute is a font property) via the Modify Style dialog
box.

If you find that the Endnote Reference paragraph style is correctly
defined but is not applied to the text, you would have to use a macro
to reapply it. For the main document text, the following should do:

Sub ApplyEndnoteStyle()
Dim e As Endnote
For Each e In ActiveDocument.Endnotes
e.Reference.Style = wdStyleEndnoteReference
Next e
End Sub
