Endnote numbering for book ms.?

[Ronald Florence]

I would like to number endnotes in proper book format, e.g., the
numbering begins at 1 for each chapter, but all of the notes are
together at the end of the ms. With intervening chapter headings, the
endnote section should look like this:

Notes

I. My First Chapter

1. An endnote.
2. Another endnote.

II. My Second Chapter

1. An endnote.
2. Another endnote.
. . .

How do I do this in ms-word? I'm using Office.X under MacOS-10.3.3 if
that is relevant. Thanks,

Assuming that you want the notes as the very last section in the book, and
that your entire book is one document, with a section break between each
chapter:
Go to Insert | Footnote, click on Options, go to Endnote tab, set Place At
to end of Document, and set Numbering to restart each section. Click OK.
Click Close (if you accidentally click OK or hit Enter, you will save the
setting changes, but also insert a new note, which you can then delete
easily enough).

However, you will then need to clean it up a bit:
You probably want to delete the separators (random lines that may have
appeared at the top of your pages), in Normal View, click View | Footnotes.
A Footnote pane will open, with a dropdown menu at the top of the pane.
Change the dropdown menu to Endnote Separator and delete the line you see.
Repeat for Endnote Continuation Separator.

You will have to insert your own headings for Notes to Chapter One, etc (and
if you are electronically distributing this book, those headings might show
up as part of an endnote in a mouseover screen tip). Unfortunately, while
you can type freely within the notes, the Table of Contents will not pick up
text typed within Endnote space, no matter what the applied Style. Endnotes
behave something like fields although field shading will never appear on
them. Be sure that you type the general heading for the notes outside of
Endnote space, if you want it in the TOC that Word can automatically
generate for you.
