Phantom endnotes

[Jauchart]

Endnotes, which refer to text that I have deleted, reappear when I print out
my chapter.

I am writing a dissertation, and endnotes that refer to text that I have
deleted from Chapter 3 recently appeared when I printed out a section of
Chapter 6 (the two chapters have ever been part of the same document)! This
section of chapter 6 had 67 endnotes. Then these "deleted" ones showed up as
endnotes 69-74 (there was no note 68).

When I do a search for an author name that I know appears in these endnotes
in chapter 3 and 6, Word seems to find several hits, suggesting something is
there, but nothing shows on the screen.

I'm using Word 2002 SP 3 running on XP Media Edition 2005.

Is there any way to delete these phantom endnotes? Is there any way to make
these phantom endnotes show up so that I can delete them?

Thanks,

If you are tracking changes, have you accepted all the changes? When you
open the Endnote pane, you do not see these phantom endnotes? Could they be
fields of some sort that are being updated at print time? Does Alt+F5 show
any field codes?

Suzanne,

They did not show up in the Endnote pane, but CTL+A, accept changes, seems
to have solved the problem. Ctl+F no long "finds" any invisible hits.

Thanks a bunch.
