However, such default settings cannot satisfy people all the time. Even Word has built-in command for users to convert footnotes to endnotes and vice versa. Therefore, we generate 6 methods for you to pick up.![Convert All Footnotes to Endnotes and Vice Versa]( "Convert All Footnotes to Endnotes and Vice Versa") ## Method 1: Convert All Footnotes to Endnotes in One Document Manually Here is where footnotes and endnotes usually stay:![Sample of default notes setting](https://www.datanumen.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Sample-of-default-notes-setting.jpg "Sample of default notes setting") 1. To begin with, click “References” tab then click the arrow button in “Footnotes” group to open the “Footnote and Endnote” dialog box. 2. Next click “Convert” button. 3. Then select “Convert all footnotes to endnotes” option. 4. And click “OK”. 5. Lastly, close the “Footnote and Endnote” box.![Click "References"->Click the Arrow Button->Click "Convert" ->Select "Convert all footnotes to endnotes"->Click "OK"->Close Dialog Box]( "Click \"References\"->Click the Arrow Button->Click \"Convert\" ->Select \"Convert all footnotes to endnotes\"->Click \"OK\"->Close Dialog Box") Here is the effect:![Convert Footnotes to Endnotes]( "Convert Footnotes to Endnotes") ## Method 2: Convert All Endnotes to Footnotes in One Document Manually To convert endnotes to footnotes is very much the same. 1. Repeat step 1 and 2 in method 1. 2. This time select “Convert all endnotes to footnotes” option instead. 3. Still, repeat step 4 and 5 in method 1. Check the following result:![Convert Endnotes to Footnotes]( "Convert Endnotes to Footnotes") ## Method 3: Convert All Footnotes to Endnotes in One Document via VBA 1. First off, press “Alt+ F11” to open VBA editor in Word. 2. Next click “Normal”. 3. Click “Insert” tab. 4. And choose “Module” on the drop-down menu.![Click "Normal"->Click "Insert"->Click "Module"]( "Click \"Normal\"->Click \"Insert\"->Click \"Module\"") 5. Then double click on the module to open it. 6. Paste the following codes there: ``` Sub ConvertFootnotesToEndnotes() If ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count > 0 Then ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Convert Else MsgBox ("There is no footnote in this document") End If End Sub ``` 7. Finally, click “Run”.![Paste Macro->Click "Run"]( "Paste Macro->Click \"Run\"") ## Method 4: Convert All Endnotes to Footnotes in One Document via VBA Similarly, follow the same steps in method 3 to install and run macro. But, replace the macro with the bellowing one: ``` Sub ConvertEndnotesToFootnotes() If ActiveDocument.Endnotes.Count > 0 Then ActiveDocument.Endnotes.Convert Else MsgBox ("There is no endnote in this document") End If End Sub ``` ## ![Enter Folder Path->Click "OK"]( "Enter Folder Path->Click \"OK\"") Method 5: Batch Convert All Footnotes to Endnotes in Multiple Documents via VBA In case there are a large number of files you have to deal with, you arrange them all in one folder first. Then install and run this macro: ``` Sub BatchConvertFootnotesToEndnotes() Dim objWordApplication As New Word.Application Dim strFile As String Dim strFolder As String strFolder = InputBox("Enter the folder address", "Folder Address", "For example:E:\test word\test\") strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.doc*", vbNormal) While strFile <> "" With objWordApplication .Documents.Open (strFolder & strFile) .ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Convert .ActiveDocument.Close End With strFile = Dir() Wend Set objWordApplication = Nothing End Sub ``` Running this macro will pop up an input box where you should enter the folder path. And don’t forget there should be a “\\” at the end of the folder address. ## Method 6: Batch Convert All Endnotes to Footnotes in Multiple Documents via VBA Finally, here is the macro to batch convert endnotes in multiple documents to footnotes automatically: ``` Sub BatchConvertEndnotesToFootnotes() Dim objWordApplication As New Word.Application Dim strFile As String Dim strFolder As String strFolder = InputBox("Enter the folder address", "Folder Address", "For example:E:\test word\test\") strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.doc*", vbNormal) While strFile <> "" With objWordApplication .Documents.Open (strFolder & strFile) .ActiveDocument.Endnotes.Convert .ActiveDocument.Close End With strFile = Dir() Wend Set objWordApplication = Nothing End Sub ``` ## How to Fix Word Problems Word can fail with no sign.
