Message: [QUOTE="John McGhie, post: 6847063"] Hi Ronald: Ahhhh.... At last I have been able to replicate your problems :-) OK, the problem with inserting the linked file was due to the fact that you did not have a paragraph mark after the previous linked file and before the endnotes. This means there was no terminator for the INCLUDETEXT field. Word inhibits the placement of a field within a field, because that would corrupt the document. You need to add a paragraph (blank will do) after each included file. After that your links will be added and will show up in Edit Links. If you run with all the non-printing characters shown in Normal View, and Field Shading set to Always, you will be able to see the problem. Your TOC problem is, as you correctly note, not in the Mac Word help. (Well, it is in the help, but only if you were to read all of it and made a giant leap of intuition to connect a sufficiently large number of dots...) Word has multiple "Text Stories." You can think of them as "Flows", and in some senses they behave like flows, but in reality they are independent containers. There are potentially 11 different stories in each section break: wdCommentsStory, wdEndnotesStory, wdEvenPagesFooterStory, wdEvenPagesHeaderStory, wdFirstPageFooterStory, wdFirstPageHeaderStory, wdFootnotesStory, wdMainTextStory, wdPrimaryFooterStory, wdPrimaryHeaderStory, or wdTextFrameStory. Floating graphics are in the Text Frame Story, as are frames and text boxes. A design limitation in Word is that the TOC and Index generators and the cross-reference engine (which are actually the same thing) only parse the Main Text Story. That's because the other stories are not actually "in" the page as it is displayed, and so Word can't return a page number from them since they don't have one. You need to place your endnotes heading above the Endnotes separator line and it will work. If the endnote separator line annoys you, see the Help topic "Change or remove a note separator" I will "try" to get the other magic incantations added to the Word Mac help for you.
