Dear All,

I am working with a blind law student  trying to  sort out her scanned
books. Her trouble is that after the books have been scanned there are
loads of footnotes.  They are on almost every page, and I am wondering if
there is a macro which could help me clean off the foot notes. I am giving
you an example of  how the footnotes are marked below on the pages by  other
staff who have scanned the book. In an attempt to identify each of the
footnotes they have preceeded  the footnote section with the prefix:
footnotes: as shown below.
Then at the end of the footnote they have identified the page with the
following example: page 500 and so on.
Here is an example of how it would look on the scanned pages.
Footnotes:
3       Glanvill X, 18.
4       For examples, see Fifoot History and Sources ch 13, and Helmholz 91
LQR 406.
5       Though in some respects now superseded, the best introduction is
still Maitland The Forms of Action
at Common Law (1954).
6       For a fuller account see Simpson History Pt I.

At the moment I am trying manually to remove the footnotes as her study time
prior to exams is getting near and she needs this material.

Many thanks for any help.

Paul.
