Placement of endnotes
I'm finishing up a book. The following bullet points are the instructions of
my publisher: ’ Except for the front matter and artwork (figures and tables), the entire manuscript text should be paginated sequentially and saved in separate files for each chapter. ’ For all authored books, notes and references will appear in the back matter. Here is my problem. If I save each chapter as a separate file, then the endnotes for each chapter appear at the end of that chapter. What the publisher wants is for chapters to follow each other with sequential pagination, and for all the endnotes for all the chapters to collectively appear at the end of the manuscript as separate "back matter." I find that the only way to have all endnotes appear at the end is to save the entire manuscript as one file (which they dont want). Any help will be appreciated! Thanks. -- Pratima |

Placement of endnotes
Your publisher is being a pain in the neck.
You could do it by opening each chapter, going to the end, selecting all the endnotes (put cursor in any note, Ctrl-A), and Copy-Paste into a new document. (If the second chapter's notes want to continue the numbering from the first chapter, then right-click in the first one and choose Restart Numbering.)

Placement of endnotes
Thanks. Actually, I already tried that. In the new document with just the
endnotes, all the endnotes end up being numbered 1 (!!). I could of course manually number them sequentially, but that's crazy. Also, while it's possible to paste (ctrl-V), it's not possible to cut (ctrl-X) the endnotes out of the bottom of each chapter. The only way to do it is hit the backspace button and keep it pressed (also crazy). Unless I'm doing something wrong... -- Pratima "grammatim" wrote: Your publisher is being a pain in the neck.

Placement of endnotes
I think you need to explain to your publisher that if the endnotes are set
as "End of document," then when the chapters are combined into a single document, the endnotes will be at the end (the *very* end unless the instructions at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...TextAfterNotes are followed). What your publisher is requesting is a workflow that was easily supplied when manuscripts were typed (on a typewriter). You could equally well have created this format (though rather more easily than with a typewriter) if you had been forewarned. In order to do so, you'll need to define numbered styles in the Endnotes document that restart after whatever heading intervenes (the chapter number, for example). In the chapters, use superscripted SEQ fields for the footnote reference marks. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Pratima" wrote in message ...
