O.K. I am replying here at the bottom of the que so it will be easier to
find. As I mentioned above, I verified my FILE / Page Setup / Layout and
discovered that some
sections have the "SUPPRESS ENDNOTES" checked and others do not, but they are
all grayed out. I tried changing some of the other options on the page but
the suppress checkbox never became accessible.

I also opened a number of existing documents with multiple sections, and
found that SUPPRESS ENDNOTES was grayed out on all of them, no matter which
doc or section I tried.

So I went to another laptop (both are running Word 2003 w/VISTA) and found
exactly the same thing. Why is Word not letting me access this function? Some
are checked and some are not, but all are grayed out.

It's personal preference. I'm leaving explanatory footnotes where they are
and just converting the referential footnotes into endnotes. There are an
awful lot of them to leave at the bottom of the pages (227). Makes for a
longer book, too.

However, since I want to publish this as a book, I need the endnotes to
precede other sections such as biblio and index. (I tried placing the
endnotes at the end of the relevant sections -- my second choice -- but of
course Word in its usual inscrutable fashion bunched them all up in just one
or two sections instead of where they belonged).

Who's making you use endnotes? Footnotes are much easier for the
reader (and for Word, too ...).
