Re: search and replace, paragraph mark
Hi, I really need to do what I indicate above. The problem is not only the
8.5 font numbers, but that those endnotes somehow are run into previous
endnotes, not sure how that happened. But it happened when they sent me the
publisher's original print file in Word , now to revise for a new edition.
These notes do not have paragraph styles that I can find.

Re: search and replace, paragraph mark
Hi,
Unless you use a macro, I think you'll have to do the Find/Replace update in two steps - one to change the font and one to insert
the extra para mark.
As for the Style-based solution, endnotes are normally assigned the 'Endnote Text' Style. AFAIK this defaults to the 'Normal'
style's attributes, but with a 10pt font. The document's author may have:
1. updated the Style;
2. overridden the Style by hard-formatting the endnote paragraphs; or
3. applied a different Style
I still believe updating & applying the Style is the best way to go.
