How do I place the bibliography AFTER the endnotes in my document?

In accordance with the Chicago Manual, I need to organize by bibliography AFTER my endnotes. However, I'm unable to inset a section break, page break, or bibliography after the endnotes. Those options are greyed-out. I have messed with the notes options a bit, trying out endnotes at the "end of section" and "end of document." I can't seem to figure out how to put anything after my endnotes.

I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to do this since the Chicago Manual of Style is one of the most widely used. I just can't figure it out.

Using Microsoft 365, Word version 16.75, on a Mac running MacOS 13.4.1.

    You need to set the Endnotes to appear as the End of Section,

    If the body of your document has multiple Sections and you do not want the Endnotes to appear at the end of each Section, on the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog, you need to check the box for Suppress Endnotes for all of the Sections in your document except the the second last Section (the one before the Section in which you set up the Bibliography)

    Appending to Stefan's point if you need the info... In Mac Word:

    • For the Footnote and Endnote dialog go to Insert> Footnote... in the main menu
    • For the Page Setup dialog Doug illustrated go to Format> Document - Layout in the main menu [File> Page Setup doesn't get you there.]

    Doug has provided the solution you need: set endnote placement to "End of section" and suppress the display of endnotes for all sections except for the one where you want them to show.

    Note that you will have to locate the corresponding settings in Word for Mac. (Many contributors in the forum mainly work with Word for Windows.)

    Dear C10darren,

    From your description, it seems that you see that the Section Break option grey out in your environment. May I know where you insert the page break in the file? If you insert other places, will the option be enabled?

    If it is convenient, could you upload some related screenshots?

    Note: Remove any private information before uploading the screenshots.

    Generally, it may be unable to be inserted after the endnotes.

    Thanks for your effort and time!

    Sincerely
