how do I delete blank endnote pages that are at end of document

[Bette]

I am typing my thesis that has chapters, and endnotes are at end of each
chapter...when I combined all chapters into one paper, I copied endnotes to
each chapter and deleted them from end of entire document ..now can't get rid
of blank pages that no longer have notes and can't turn in blank pages as
paper gets turned in as pdf.-any suggestions for getting rid of numbered
blanks as word 2003 says everything is an illegal operation with endnotes and
it is reading these pages as endnote pages!

As long as you've left the End-note markers in the document (the reference
numbers) those empty lines will stay there.

I don't know if you've saved older, back-up copies you can use, but...

In the Insert/References/Footnote box, when Endnotes is selected as what you
want to insert, you can choose either "End of document" or "End of section". You
could have used "End of section" and inserted a section break before each new
chapter to achieve your end result.

I don't know whether it will be more work for you to copy the text back to the
references, or delete each reference number and type in a static number
(formatted as superscript).
