Deleted endnote refuses to abdicate
I deleted an endnote and inserted it in the preceding paragraph. There
no longer is a number indicating the location of the deleted endnote in the body of the document. However, when I search through the document for endnotes, the system always stops at the 'disposed' note. In the end note section, that number is skipped. If I GoTo that invisible endnote and delete it, the next character in the body of the document is eliminated. I have manually re-inserted the note in the body and endnote section, but I have to manually correct it if I add or delete a real one. If the description of this problem is confusing, it might be because I am confused. - bud - |

Abdicate, as in refuses to leave its position.

Do you have Track Changes enabled?

Deleted endnote refuses to abdicate
This is a document I am editing. The original document did track
changes. That feature was disabled when I deleted (?) the endnote. I just did a test with a few pages from the edited document by adding some garbage comments with the track changes disabled. If I then display "Final with Markup," the markup from the original doc shows, but there are no markups from the latest changes. - bud - Tony Jollans wrote: Do you have Track Changes enabled? -- Enjoy, Tony "Bud I." wrote in message news:RaUgf.567663$x96.254402@attbi_s72...

Deleted endnote refuses to abdicate
Ref:
http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide...and%20Endnotes I just found a possible description of my problem in the above reference quoted below: ============================================== Warning When deleting a footnote, you must delete the footnote reference mark within the document. If you delete the text and the number from the footnote pane or from the page in Page Layout/Print Layout view, it does not delete the number within the text itself. If you do this, and then add a new footnote to the document, your numbering will be off by one. Word still thinks the deleted footnote is still active. You can correct this by going to the original reference mark in the document and deleting it. ============================================== It's quite possible this is what I did. Unfortunately, the number representing the endnote is no longer there. Using Find and Replace GoTo Endnotes +, takes me to the trouble spot. Neither a backspace nor a delete at that time removes the system's memory of that invisible, mischievous endnote. - bud - Bud I. wrote: This is a document I am editing.

Deleted endnote refuses to abdicate
Clicking on the Hide/Show button on the Standard Toolbar, didn't display
anything. The other endnotes had small gray boxes around them, but there was nothing there. I inserted an endnote at the same place. The expected number was inserted, but the next number was skipped. Deleting the new endnote had no effect on the persistent, non-existent one. I also enabled the include hidden text in the Print tab on Options menu to no avail. Suzanne S.

I "LUCKED OUT." Displaying Markups showed the deleted (sic) endnote. I
then deleted the markup and all is well. I thank everyone for their assistance. - bud - Bud I. wrote: Clicking on the Hide/Show button on the Standard Toolbar, didn't display anything.
