Are endnotes really the end?

[David]

I have a multiple page text document. Throughout the text
were several notes that I was required to make endnotes
rather than footnotes. Word, of course, formats them and
places the endnotes at the end of the text. I inserted a
page break so that the notes were on their own page. I
wanted to insert another page break after all the
endnotes so that I could continue with a bibliography-
type section, but I was unable to insert a break.
The "break" command was grayed out so I could not insert
one. I tried cutting and pasting, but the document was
recognizing everything as endnote. I don't know how to
tell it to end the endnotes and allow me to continue. I
know endnotes go at the end, but there are many instances
when text has to follow the notes, so surely there is a
way to do this....??

They are really the end. The people who developed Word were unclear on the
concept of books with text after notes. However, there's a very easy fix.

In Word 2001 and later, set Endnotes to "end of section" (instead of "end of
document) and then suppress endnotes (File | Page Setup, Layout tab (or on a
Mac: Format | Document)) for every section *except* the one you want the
endnotes to follow. For Word 2000 and earlier, post back for a macro
solution.
