Convert Text to Footnote

[hjhh19022049]

Hi,

i used Jarek Jump_Over script "Convert Text to Footnote" and it really worked good for me. however, when i have two paragraphs in a note and i convert it to footnotes using the script, the script does not put the second paragraph together with the first in the new converted footnote, rather it leaves it behind, it would be grately appreciated if there is a way to change something in the script that includes all paragraphs in a note.

Thank you.

Try the edited version of the original script, I obtained the base version for my edit from the following link
