endnotes

[Robin]

I'm am having problems with my master document and subdocuments. I got the
master created and inserted all my subdocuments. There are a couple of
problems I'm having. The first one is with font. All my font in the
subdocuments are Times New Roman 12. When I insert the sub into the master
some of the fount changes to courier. Is there any way to stop this. The
second problem is with the endnotes. When I insert the subs into the master,
the endnotes are getting rearranged. I have everything good through number 15
then it jumps to 47 and 15 through 17 is way down the list. Also the font is
changing to courier 12 or Times New Roman 10. I also would like to know if
there is a way to move the Bibliography after the endnotes. Thanks in
advance to anyone that helps or trys to help me.

Is it absolutely essential that you do it as master and subdocuments?
If you simply add all your documents (with Insert > File) together
into one (humungous, if necessary) file, all your endnote problems
will go away (and you can restart each chapter at 1, if each one is a
separate section), and you can select the entire document and apply
your single font.

When I use the insert file option my endnotes don't show up at all. I also
don't want each chapter to start over at 1. I want them to number in order
through the whole document.

 

[grammatim]

Then you set the endnote numbering to continue throughout the
document.

changing the font on the endnotes won't be hard to do, I can highlight them
and change them. What I really need help with is figuring out why my endnotes
have reordered themselves when I inserted the subdocuments they were part of.
I also still need help with moving the bibliography after the endnotes.
Thanks for any help.

You change the font for endnotes by modifying the Endnote Text style. To put
the bibliography after the endnotes, see

I got the bibliography into the document where I want it now. I am still
confused as to why the endnotes reordered themselves. Can you help with that
or give me a web page that might? I have looked everywhere to try to figure
out why this happened and how to fix it without having to retype them all.

If you had endnotes at the end of each document you inserted and inserted
the files in the correct order, this shouldn't have happened. However, if
you did this in Print Layout view, it's possible that you managed to insert
a file between a previous document and its endnotes. It's safer to perform
such operations in Normal view (Draft view in Word 2007), where endnotes are
not displayed, and then Word automatically handles them correctly.

I created a master document then inserted each file as a subdocument and they
still reordered themselves. Is there any way to fix this problem?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

From your reply to "grammatim," I thought you had abandoned a master
document and used Insert File to create a single doc.

I have no experience with master documents and don't intend to get any; see
