End Notes

[Jim at SDSU]

I have a user that is writting a book. Each chapter was in a seperate file,
so for the cmplete book, we inserted each file with a "Section Break-New
Page" between each.

We then converted the footnotes to end notes and told them to put the end
notes at the end of each section, and to restart the numbering.

This worked perfectly for the first chapter, the introduction. However, for
the remaining chapters, the end notes appear at the end of the entire
document, restarting the numbering, but as one giant group.

I've rechacked the settings, and redone it a couple of times, but the same
result. Anyone have any ideas??

THANKS!!!

Did you make sure to set the "End of section" placement option for all
sections?

 

[Jim at SDSU]

Many times.

What happens if you delete the section breaks, set the option, and then
reinsert the section breaks?

Can you recreate the problem in a new document?

It didn't help

Can you recreate the problem in a new document?

It works as it is supposed to in a new document.

Sounds like the document is corrupt, then. Delete the section breaks, copy
the contents except for the final paragraph mark (to do this, press Ctrl+A,
then Shift+Left arrow, then Ctrl+C), and paste (Ctrl+V) into a new document.
Recreate the section breaks and set the option.

COOL, it worked. This is something I knew about, but didn't think about,
because I had merged the chapters a couple of times and got the same result
in each new document, go figure.

I'm glad I could help--and thank you for the feedback.
