Endnote references in a document and in multiple appendices
We regularly produce long documents that often have several appendices. We
want to use Word's endnotes, and we want the endnote references to appear at the end of the main document, or, if the appendices have references, at the end of the appropriate appendix. But Word endnotes appear to have only two options: insert the endnote references at the end of a section or at the end of a document. Because the main document or an appendix can have several sections (e.g., figures, landscaped tables, columns) inserting the references at the end of those sections will not work, nor will inserting them all at the end of the document (i.e., after all the appendices). How do we get Word endnotes to insert the references at the end of the main document, and at the end of each appendix? I should note that after reading the Master Document horror stories I'm not sure that's the answer. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. -- Wallace |

Set your endnotes to appear at the end of each section, and suppress endnotes
in the sections where you don't want them to appear. The suppressed endnotes will automatically appear in the next section where endnotes are not suppressed. Example: Let's say you have a document containing five sections; sections 1, 2, and 3 comprise the main document, section 4 is Appendix A, and sections 5 and 6 are Appendix B. Set the endnotes to appear at the end of each section. Click somewhere in section 1, and click on File | Page Setup | Layout | check the "Suppress endnotes" box | OK. Click somewhere in section 2 and do the same thing. Click somewhere in section 5 and do the same thing. Endnotes from sections 1 and 2 will appear at the end of section 3, endnotes for section 4 will appear at the end of section 4, and endnotes from sections 5 and 6 will appear at the end of section 6.
