My ultimate question is, is there a way to get Word to search a text selection for the presence of any footnote reference? My search of the Word scripting guide hasn't made it clear.

tell application "Microsoft Word"

set myDoc to active document

set fieldCount to count of fields in myDoc

repeat with n from 1 to fieldCount

select field n of myDoc

collapse range text object of selection direction collapse end

expand text object of selection by a character item

set myFind to find object of selection

clear formatting myFind

set content of myFind to note reference of footnote --here is where I think the footnote number is desired, but not feasibly provided

if (execute find myFind with match forward) is true then

cut object selection

end if

end repeat

end tell
