Endnote numbering at section breaks
I want my endnotes to begin at "1" at each section break, but each time I set
it up that way, it does go 1,2,3, for a while but then suddenly "bounces back" to continue the numbering from the previous section. I don't understand why this is happening. Also I find that when I set "Section Break, Next Page," that doesn't remain for very long. The next time I look it has somehow got mysteriously changed on its own to "Section Break, Continuous." Is there some problem? -- Phyllis |

I don't understand why this is happening. Note that Word 2003 (and perhaps also Word 2002) allows you to have (say) continuous numbering in one section and numbering restarted on each page in another, you may want to verify that you actually have the correct settings in all sections. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |

Stefan, have you managed to get per-section endnote settings to work in Word 2003? I thought we had a discussion previously that MS advertised it but it didn't work? Don't have Word 2003 to check.

Endnote numbering at section breaks
Currently I'm not at my home computer, so any further testing will
have to wait until next week. But reading my previous message makes me think that what I tested was in fact *footnote* numbering, not endnote numbering (if that makes a difference). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. .

Endnote numbering at section breaks
Whenever you get around to it, I'll be interested to hear. I'm pretty sure
that footnote and endnote numbering are going to behave the same way, though, so I don't think *that* makes a difference.

Endnote numbering at section breaks
I don't know exactly what the problem was in Word 2002, but it doesn't
work well in Word 2003 either. You can certainly have different numbering styles between sections (say A, B, C,... in section 1 and i, ii, iii,... in section 2). This is true for footnotes and endnotes. However, the restarts are obviously wrong or at least confusing. The following is an example with footnote numbering in a three-section document: Section One: Continuous footnote numbering. 1 Footnote in section one. 2 Footnote in section one. 3 Footnote in section one. Section Two: Footnotes restarts on each new page. First page: 1 First footnote in section two. Second page: 1 Second footnote in section two (restarts because it is on a new page) Section Three: Continuous footnote numbering. 6 First note in section three. Apparently, Word counts all of the previous notes, increments by 1 and therefore the first note is numbered 6. :-( Of course, it is still possible that the OP's problem was caused by conflicting Footnote/Endnote settings. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. .

Thanks, Stefan. Very interesting.
