Move endnotes

[tony]

In Word 2002, I insert endnotes at the end of each chapter of a book.

The editor wants these endnotes to appear at the end of the book rather
than at the end of each chapter, but I discovered that I cannot cut
them away from the chapter and copy them to a separate endnote file.

What must I do now?

Tony, this works for me in Word 2000, and something similar should be
available in Word 2002:

With the document open, from the menu select Insert, Footnote -- the
Footnote and Endnote dialogue box opens.

Click the Options button -- the Note Options dialogue box opens.

Click the All Endnotes tab, then select Place at: End of document and
the Continuous Number radio button.

Click OK, OK.

Done

Thank you Peter. With this in mind, I realize that this is probably the
answer, but that the "End of document" refers to a document that
contains all the chapters. I will therefore implement it when I do
insert all the chapters into a master document. Which I suspect will
raise its own headaches...

Take care! I believe that to use the master document feature in Word is
to risk catastrophic corruption of the files -- at least, it used to be
so in Word 2000 and earlier. See

Question for the experts: Has the master document feature become more
robust in more recent releases?
