Help! Need to change all endnote numbers to roman numerals quick and easy.

[t_m_back]

I have a document with about 150 endnotes (not footnotes) (yuck). When I brought it into indesign CS5.5 from word, it automatically changed all the numbers to regular 1-2-3-etc numbers. I was grateful they at least made it into the indesign document.

I tried changing the footnote number style to roman numerals, but of course, since they're not footnotes -- that didn't help.

Is there a way to do this by a GREP search and replace? If so, HOW and what do I type in?

They are all superscript, so I figure I'd find all the superscript numbers.... and just make a replace with Roman Numeerals -- just have no idea how to do it. Need it fast as I'm on deadline, as always.

Thank you!

Hi,

try this:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    app.findGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+";
    app.findGrepPreferences.position = Position.SUPERSCRIPT;
    var myFound = myDoc.findGrep();
    var l = myFound.length;
    while(l--)
        myFound.contents = arabic2roman(myFound.contents);
function arabic2roman (arab)
    {
    var roman = ''
    if (arab < 4000)
        {
        var rom = [];
        rom[0] = ["","i","ii","iii","iv","v","vi","vii","viii","ix"];
        rom[1] = ["","x","xx","xxx","il","l","lx","lxx","lxxx","xc"];
        rom[2] = ["","c","cc","ccc","cd","d","dc","dcc","dccc","cm"];
        rom[3] = ["","m","mm","mmm","4m","5m","6m","7m","8m","9m"];
        arab = arab.toString().split("").reverse().join("");
        for (var i = 0; i < arab.length; i++)
            roman = rom[arab.charAt(i)] + roman;
        }
    return roman
    }

this function is pasted from some Peter Kahrel's script

Be awared: script will change all (whole active doc) superscripted digits into roman.

Limited to numbers less then 4000
