Default Copying and Pasting and using footnotes/endnotes

hi there,

I have 2 documents, that each use the footnote (endnote) function, so they
each have their own corresponding reference list at the end of the document.
I want to combine them, so I tried copying the 2nd and pasting it into the
first. It seemed to work but then I realized that it only updated the new
references the first time they were used (in the pasted portion of the
document). For example, the first doc had 49 references, so when I pasted the
2nd one in, what used to be ref #1 in the 2nd document became ref # 50, which
is what I wanted. But the next time that ref was used, it still labelled it
#1, which is wrong! How can I get it to update the reference every time it is
used??

Thanks!!
Cindy
