Inserting manual page break after endnotes page

[atraveller]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a works cited section to a thesis document, so it can be
uploaded onto a Website. Right now I have the thesis and the works cited
separately. My problem is my Thesis has an endnotes page at the end of it
and when I go to do an "insert - page break" the page break function is
greyed out and I can't manually insert the page break, so I can start a new
page. Just cutting and pasting causes the new material to appear as part of
the endnotes and creates a formatting line at the top of each new page.
Suggestions? This is really important and something I need to figure out
sooner rather than later, so really hoping someone has an answer. Thank you!!

Unless someone comes up with a very interesting & innovative approach, I'm
afraid you are between a rock & a hard place... Or perhaps a more
appropriate analogy would be "at the <end> of the line".

Endnotes by their very definition come at the end of a Section or at the end
of the document - the operative word being "end". That is exactly how Word
is structured to position them, so there is no availability of a 'page
after'.

I would think the bibliography of cited works should normally precede the
endnotes. If the format is required to be otherwise, the only option I can
offer would presume that the entire thesis comprises one long section, in
which case you could redefine the endnotes to be at 'end of section' rather
than 'end of document'. That would permit additional content to follow the
endnotes page(s) as part of another section. Most probably, however, that
isn't the way your doc is constructed.

Another approach might be to generate both the thesis & the cited works docs
as a PDF which you could assemble in the order you wish. If that is an
acceptable alternative it might even be preferable to go that route for a
number of other reasons.

Cyber,

Actually, you hit the nail on the head with the end of section versus end of
document, which I figured out about 10 min. ago. And the format of my Thesis
is the bibliography is the last item, all notes go before that. But by
putting in a section break at the end of the document, pasting the works
cited in there, then noting the end notes to be end of section, I was able to
circumvent the silly formatting rules of Word and get the order I desired.
Thanks for responding

Glad you got it resolved, and thanks for letting us know. Good luck with the
thesis!

If the format is required to be otherwise, the only option I can
Just to finish this train of thought‹

This technique also works for a multi-section doc. There is a "suppress
endnotes" option which can be checked for all sections except the last one
before the notes.

....And that's what keeps me lurking about in this vast warehouse of
knowledge & experience - Something old that gets newer all the time. Never
had any idea to go that route :0)

Thanks, Daiya
