If you've started doing this manually, you're going to kick yourself - it's
a one line VBA command!
The following works for Word 2002:
Procedure:
1. Select Tools>Macros>Macros
The Macros window opens
2. Enter a new Macro Name and click Create
Your new macro opens in the Visual Basic window
3. Add the following code to your new macro, after the comments:
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Convert
4. Save and close
5. Back in your document, select Tools>Macros>Macros
6. Select your new macro and click Run
All footnotes become endnotes.
Enjoy your weekend
