Use a "For...Next" loop with the Footnotes, Endnotes, or Comments collection
instead of the "For Each...Next" loop.

The following Visual Basic for Applications macro example uses a "For...Next"
loop to extract the endnotes for a specified paragraph.

     Sub ReturnNotesInParagraph()
        Dim iCount As Integer
        Dim oNote As Object
        Dim iParaNum As Integer
        ' Set the paragraph to return notes
        iParaNum = 1
        ' Note: If the specified paragraph does not exist
        ' in the active document, an error will occur.
        If ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count >= iParaNum Then
           Set oNote = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(iParaNum).Range.Endnotes
           For iCount = 1 To oNote.Count
              MsgBox oNote(iCount).Range.Text
           Next
        Else
           MsgBox "The specified paragraph does not exist."
        End If
     End Sub
