Help with Merging Separate Documents with EndNotes

Question

Hi there

I want to combine nine chapters into one Word document for a book. Each chapter has endnotes, which I would like to keep at the end of the chapter. At the moment, I can't combine them unless I move all the endnotes to the end of the book.

Is there a way to combine the chapters into one document with the endnotes at the end of each chapter?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Janelle

Answer 1

If you add a section break between each chapter in the resulting, combined document, you can then set the endnotes to display at the end of each section.

Answer 2

You can provided each chapter is a single section. In your combined document, in the Footnote and Endnote dialog, select "End of section." Then insert section breaks between the chapters. Unfortunately, if a given chapter contains more than one section, you will have to enable "Suppress endnotes" (on the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog) for each section in the chapter before the last. And this will also make it impossible to have endnotes restart numbering in each chapter because your only choice is "Continuous" or "Restart each section," and this means "section" rather than "chapter."
