In a *.docx document with lots of footnotes, I need to make sure that no footnote anchor is followed by a period or comma.
How can I find all footnote anchors that are followed by a certain character? I tried using [::Footnote::][,\.] with Alt. Find & Replace (regular expression) but there are no hits. Am I missing something?
(Finding all footnote anchors using [::Footnote::] works but I seem not to be able to modify this string.)
If I can correctly remember another question about footnotes and adjacent characters and AltSearch.oxt there was no possibility to manage this. AltSearch.oxt is not more supported. So there does not seem any solution for your request. Perhaps some helper could write a macro for you.
Write a feature request in Bugzilla for SEARCH&REPLACE or add your request in an existing one.
PS: I have added AltSearch.oxt in your question’s headline.
