    Hello. I copied and pasted text from the internet to an indesign document, and I want to change the non dynamic “footnotes” to real indesign footnotes. Can that be done through the find/change dialogue or it has to be done manually for every single footnote? The non dynamic footnotes have this form: [1], [2], [3], etc. I know I can find them with a grep code, but I don't know if I can sabstitute them with a reall footnote through the find/change dialogue. Thanx alot for your help.

    Well, you can get there halfway at least.

    Insert a single footnote in your text and cut it out. Then search for the footnote codes with GREP and replace with the contents of the clipboard (~c if you want to copy your text formatting as well, ~C without formatting).

    You'll get a bunch of empty footnotes in which you can move the notes at the end of your text one by one.
