Is this a question or an exercise in posting an incomplete sentence?

This is not intended to insult you, scare you away from posting further
questions, or as claim to superiority on my part. However, if the former
then in the future you might consider spending just a little more time
framing the question and providing a few details like what exactly is the
character set used for the brackets.

Shooting in the dark, you might try:

Sub ScratchMacro()
Dim oNote As Endnote
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Content
With oRng.Find
.Text = "\[*\]"
.MatchWildcards = True
While .Execute
Set oNote = ActiveDocument.Endnotes.Add(oRng, , Mid(oRng.Text, 2,
Len(oRng.Text) - 2))
oRng.Delete
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
End Sub
 
I have a Word 2007 document that I downloaded in which the author placed the
footnotes with in the body of text. I simply wanted to know if there was a
way to convert all these footnotes to endnotes.
 
You can simply convert footnotes to endnotes by clicking on the dialog box
laucher located in the bottom right corner of the Footnotes group on the
References Tab and then click on "Convert ..."

However, the bracketed notes within a document that you mentioned earlier
are likely not footnotes.
 
I've spent some time trying to find out how to convert regular text which just looks like notes to footnotes in Office. In my long text, copied from web, notes are marked with brackets like this "[1]" and after text there is NOTES section with notes like this "[1] Here is a note". The only tip I found is this one which does something diferent, it converts text in bracketed notes within document to endnotes (or footnotes). It's not the same. Can you write a macro for my problem?
