I would really like to figure out if there's a way to just delete all footnotes, their associated text and hyperlink numbers in one or two clicks rather than manually editing and deleting 500+ entries throughout a book. This way I could just make an edited copy of the book for my text-to-speech app and have the regular copy for when I want to go back and check out the footnotes. Please see the attached image that shows what the file looks like.
Would anyone be able to help me understand/figure out how to do this? And if this is not the correct forum please direct me to the best place for a question like this as I'm rather new to this program and forum.
Thank you in advance

That being said, you might want to check into using regex to remove the links and the footnotes though you don't show a sample of the call to the footnote.
For the footnotes you show, something like find: <p class="footnote">< href=#fn(.*?)</p> and a blank replace could remove the actual footnote.
