8.      de chercher plus de véritables [1] partenariats avec la société civile afin que les défenseurs des droits de l'homme se sentent pleinement [2] soutenus par l'UE;

[1] HRW: Central Asia : Five Years of EU engagement

[2] http://www.senat.fr/rap/r96-2013,1054/r96-374.html.

This is a little sample of xml-text we get from external sources. There's no link between the false "footnote-ref [1]" in de text and the false "endnote text".

Is there a possibility to convert those "notes" to real notes in de text, but not to end-notes? Sometimes these kind of notes extend to more than 100.

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
//---------------------------------------------
// edit doc.footnoteOption here
with (myDoc.footnoteOptions) 
    {
    showPrefixSuffix = FootnotePrefixSuffix.PREFIX_SUFFIX_BOTH;
    prefix = "[";
    suffix = "]";
    separator

The document is just stories extracted from different books.

Each story starts with a Drop cap. The first paragraph of each story has been assigned a 'Body 1' character style.

The remaining

The footnote text appears after the story and has been assigned a paragraph style.
