Endnotes

[Daniel Cohen]

I am using Word X (ancient, I know, but I don't often need it) and am
trying to get an article into suitable form for a publisher.

Currently, I have one document which consists of the main article plus
endnotes (set up as endnotes at end of section). I have another
document containing the bibliography. I want to merge them into a single
document arranged as article, endnotes, bibliography (in that order).

I have done the most obvious thing, inserting the bibliography at the
end of the main text, and putting in a section break. But, though I set
endnotes to appear at the end of the section, they insist on staying at
the end of the document.

I made another attempt, this time inserting the bibliography at the end
of the endnotes, again with a section break. That looked OK, except that
the bibliography seemed to be treated as part of the end-notes, which
migh cause formatting issues later depending on how the publishers want
to do things.

So what should I be doing to get things the way I want?

Hello Daniel;

It sounds like you're doing the right thing... Compare your actual steps to
the information here -- I can't tell form your phrasing if you're creating
the Section Break before or after the insertion. The break has to be done
first. As long as the biblio & the endnotes are in separate sections they
souldn't be a part of the same field.

Thanls. That clearly *should* have worked, but it did not. Even the
instructions in the reference you gave me did not work. When I tried to
suppress endnotes for the whole document, as instructed, the endnotes
still appeared. There must be something weird about my document.

I did manage to do what I wanted in a different way. I started with the
bibliography, put a section break at the beginning, and inserted the
text (with endnotes) into the blank first section. All went well.

It would still be useful to get the more natural approach to work.

Well, I'm not sure what to tell you -- the method described on that site
usually works as advertised. It's possible that there could be some level of
corruption in the document that's causing the misbehavior. You might try a
"Maggie" on a copy of the original & see if you have a better result.

If you're not familiar with un-corruption procedures see here [the Maggie
process is #2 in the list of methods]:

I thought it might ;-) The method is named for MVP Margaret Aldis who

Hi Bob:

No, no, no.... Not THAT Maggie (Who is British and would never allow you to
call her Maggie....)

THIS Maggie: Margaret Secara from the TECHWR-L mailing list, who first
publicised the technique. Apparently lives in Catasauqua, PA.

Margaret Aldis is the queen of Word Numbering

Cheers
