Anyone know if its possible to automate the conversion of superscript numbers to footnotes (insert footnote)? I’m going through some old books in InDesign that have a good number of superscripted (by superscript style) numbers throughout out and its becoming rather tedious to, one at a time, select each one, delete it, and select “Insert footnote”. Wondering if this is scriptable? or if someone knows of a script that will do this?
Hi Aaron, the first place I would look is here:

Maybe this one? https://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/dynamic_endnotes.html
Then convert the endnotes to footnotes.
