Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Hello,
Please forgive if I've somehow missed the answer to this question. I have scoured the forums looking for it. I am writing my MA thesis using Word 2008 in Leopard and it is due in a few weeks. All programs are fully updated. I've used the Citation Manager with Turabian style to handle the citations and to create a bibliography and list of endnotes, and have used section breaks with chapter headings to create a table of contents. While I've used Word on both PCs and Macs for many years, this is my first experience with a document with sections, a TOC, and so forth. (I have no experience with programming or using Terminal, fwiw)
It is my understanding from the Turabian manual that endnotes must be placed before the bibliography in the final document. However, Word insists on placing them after the bibliography.
I have tried copying and pasting the endnote section into a manually created section between the end of the thesis itself and the bibliography, but then all of the numbering for the endnotes turns to a superscript "1" (which I can manually change for all 137 endnotes), but the TOC will not update to reflect the change.
In addition, I have created simple headers for page numbers only. But for some reason only on the endnote pages there is a 2 inch long line flush left that appears to separate the header from the rest of the page despite the fact that I didn't put it there, and the header is identical for all pages. Only the page number is in the header, upper right hand corner. I cannot get rid of this line on these pages. There is no way to select it.
I'm sure you all can appreciate that there are very precise and specific formatting requirements for academic theses and dissertations, and after working for months on this I really do not want to fight with Word to do what I need it to do.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks!
Kris
PS, fwiw, I have the exact same problem as Trance77 wrote about on April 21, 2008. My citations also appeared as 1(Strunk, 2008) instead of the full 1William Strunk and E. B. White, The Elements of Style (New York:
Macmillan, 1972), 27. I read Dalya's reply that her copy works the way it is supposed to but I wish I knew how or why. I had to manually enter in the proper information in 137 endnotes. The (Strunk, 2008) style is for parenthetical notes contained within the body of the text, not for endnotes or footnotes. But it is rather moot now. However if there is an answer for it, I'd love to hear it. Cheers.
