Word Macro: removing space between footnote number and start of content...
Hi all,
Right now, my footnotes look like this: 5 Smarty Pants, Why I'm the Best... (The 5 would be a suprscript in a Word footnote, but doesn't show up that way here.)
I'd like to figure out a macro to delete that space between the footnote number and the actual start of the content (for every footnote in an entire document), changing an entry to look like this: 5Smarty Pants, Why I'm the Best... (With the 5 as superscript still)

At first, I was thinking some sort of macro using "Next Footnote" and then somehow looping 'til the end of the document. But that button seems to only find the footnote number in the body of the paper, not the actual footnote in the footer.
For the "loop" part, I found http://www.brucesbrain.com/loop-unti...ile-word-macro, which recommends
Code:
Do
    <stuff>
Loop Until (Selection.End = ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1)
But I'm not sure if that looping method will end up working for this or not.

I'm using Word 2007 on Vista and 2002 on XP. I'm not sure whether Word on OS X (Macs) even supports macros the same way, but I'd like to get this macro as compatible as possible in order to share it with fellow students here.

Thanks for any help (or pointers or code) you can give me!

Because that's the way the school wants it.
And thanks for the welcome!

Actually, I may have found my solution. I'm still testing it...
