Footnote Question

Greetings. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask
this question, but here goes. I am using MS Office XP.
In MS WORD, I would like to copy separately all the
footnotes of a very long document. Is this possible? Do
I have to convert all footnotes to endnotes and then copy
them into another file? Or, better, yet, is it possible
to copy everything (footnote numbers and footnote
contents), and have the footnote numbers retained (I tried
this is a smaller document and all the footnote numbers
become numeral 1)? Thanks for you help.

1. View | Footnotes.

2. Select all the footnotes and copy.

3. Paste into a new document.

4. Immediately Ctrl+A and Ctrl+Shift+F9.

This may or may not work. If it doesn't (and your post suggests that you've
already tried it and it didn't), there is a one-line macro (which I
unfortunately don't remember) that will convert field numbering to text, but
I suspect you'd have to use it on the footnotes in a copy of the document
before copying and pasting them into a fresh document.
