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.

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
