How do I keep endnotes from throwing page numbers off
I am editing a collection of essays, with endnotes. The endnotes must begin
again with one for each essay, but the page numbering for the text should be continuous. I can't get the page numbers to come out right. Another thing that seems to be a problem is that I need to keep even number flush left, and odd numbers flush right. This document also has running heads in each chapter (that are different). I have figured out how to properly use section breaks, but the pagination is not working at all. There are several questions buried in there, and I would greatly appreciate help with any one of them! Thanks, |

How do I keep endnotes from throwing page numbers off
You've got the section breaks worked out and presumably the "Different odd
and even" running heads to allow for "outside" page number placement. Provided you don't have any section breaks within a given essay, the footnote numbering should also work out okay. By default, your page numbering should be continuous (should not restart in each section), but if you restarted at 1 after some initial front matter, then every new section you create is going to start at 1 as well. You'll have to go to Format Page Number in each section (use the button on the Header and Footer toolbar) and change "Start at" to "Continue from previous section." -- Suzanne S.

How do I keep endnotes from throwing page numbers off
Thank you...there's something more going on that I can't figure out, though.
Each essay has an endnote section, and that is followed by works cited. I read (I think on this forum) that I should put my section break at the end of the essay (i.e., before the endnotes) in order for the endnotes to follow the text, and then allow the works cited to follow the endnotes. I think that some of the contributors to the collection have embedded something tricky in their essays, because the above named method works just fine for most of the essays, but some are getting thrown way off. I'm just about at my wits end with this. "Suzanne S.

How do I keep endnotes from throwing page numbers off
If you want the endnotes at the end of each essay, then you need to do
nothing except set "End of section" for placement and make sure that "Suppress endnotes" is not checked on the Layout tab of Page Setup for that section. If you want all the endnotes collected at the end of the collection, then you need to suppress them in every section up to the one where you want to insert them (instead of using the "End of document" setting); this allows you to put Works Cited after the endnotes. If you want endnotes at the end of each essay and Works Cited for the essay following those, then you're going to have to create a separate section for the Works Cited, which is definitely going to be a lot of work. And don't overlook the possibility that some of the writers may have inadvertently typed the Works Cited actually in the endnotes section (you can figure this out easily by switching to Normal view and viewing the endnotes in the endnotes pane; if the Works Cited are there, you can select them and cut them out and paste them elsewhere. -- Suzanne S.
