How can I place endnotes before my book index?
I need to reposition endnotes to precede my biblio and index - I converted
all referential footnotes to endnotes (227 of them). Word 2003 sends them to the back of my document in a format that doesn't permit any subsequent breaks or section insertions. 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 ...). |

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.

O.K. 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 accesible. Any suggestions????? "Stefan Blom" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...TextAfterNotes. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "PaulK" wrote in message ...

Have you changed the placement option from "End of document" to "End of
section"? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "PaulK" wrote in message ... O.K.

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. "PaulK" wrote: It's personal preference.

How can I place endnotes before my book index?
Suzanne,
That worked! What was confusing to me was that the option was grayed out on both computers and also in documents created by others (as well as new docs I created to test it). I had thought it would be unique to each document, but it must be an option retained in Word itself. A suggestion for those who may come along later: I was not able to apply SUPPRESS universally; i.e., "Whole document" or "This point forward." I had to work through the document section by section kind of like herding the endnotes toward the back. Another thing to be aware of, if I placed my cursor in the middle of a section to change the PAGE SETUP options, squirrely things sometimes happened. So I turned on SHOW/HIDE and was careful to place my insertion point just before the section mark at the end of each section and that seemed to work fine. BTW, Suzanne, I'm in Lillian -- small world! Thanks much for your help and all of the time you put in to make this community of Word users viable. This is probably the best part of the MS Word experience, the dedicated MVPs. Lotus WordPro is my regular word processor -- even more than a decade after being abandoned by its designer, it's still light years ahead of MS Word in many areas of usability (my opinion, of course).

How can I place endnotes before my book index?
Glad you got it sorted. I was kind of shooting in the dark there because I
haven't actually used this option, but I thought I remembered that oddity about the way it works. And thanks for the kind words. That kind of response helps to offset the whining from users who blast Word without making an effort to learn how to use it--and then blast those who are trying to help because they provide an answer that is not what they want to hear! -- Suzanne S.
