Convert word citations/bibliography to endnotes

Hello,
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't find the answer.

Is there a (hopefully, simple) way to convert MS Word citations to endnotes in the same document?

I don't want to lose the bibliography, but my publisher has asked if I can make my citations as numbered endnotes in the same document.

I'm hoping to avoid going to a third-party software, but I'm a tad desperate -- I'll happily go that route if that's what's necessary.

Help,please!

Thanks,
Carlos

I developed a macro that converted End Notes to "Text Notes" at the end of a document and I daresay that something similar could be done with citations.

 

If you can send me a document containing some citations, I will see what can be done with it.

Try:

 

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long, Rng As Range
With ActiveDocument
  For i = .Fields.Count To 1 Step -1
    With .Fields(i)
      If .Type = wdFieldCitation Then
        Set Rng = .Result
        .Cut
        With Rng
          .Endnotes.Add Rng
          .MoveEnd wdCharacter, 1
          .Endnotes(1).Range.Characters.Last.Previous.Paste
        End With
      End If
    End With
  Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
