Microsoft Word to FM 11 footnote conversion woes

[Fred Ridder]

In the Find dialog, select the "Use wildcards" option. Then in the Find Text box, type:
[0-9]
This will find any digit between 0 and 9, inclusive. It's got some limitations--it will find multi-digit numbers one digit at a time, and it will not find numbers that are the result of autonumber formatting or a cross-reference--but it will find numbers and not letters or punctuation, so maybe it will work well enough for you.

> Hi Framers:
> I have just converted many heavily footnoted  Ms Word files to FM 11.
> The translation was more or less successful but the algorithm added a pesky
> space before the text of each footnote.
> Is there a code I could search for that would make this tedious job easier?
>  (I am already yawning just thinking about it). 
> 
> Another useful tip would make my life easier is how to search for a number
> (any number) and not text i.e. "1", but not "a".
