I have to redo endnotes in a long document and renumber the endnotes for each chapter to start at #1. They are currently just regular embedded endnotes in separate chapters. If I start pasting the chapters together into one long text to have an endnote section at the end of the document, the numbers run continuous. Does anyone know how to do this?

Are you running 2003? As I recall, you can do each chapter as a separate doc and "link" them into a master doc. I've never done it, though.

This was in my '07 help.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Restart footnote or endnote numbering from 1

You can restart the footnote numbering on each page or in each section. You can restart the endnote numbering in each section.

Note If the footnotes in your document are numbered incorrectly, your document may contain tracked changes. Accept the tracked changes so that Word will correctly number the footnotes and endnotes.

On the References tab, click the Footnote & Endnote Dialog Box Launcher.

In the Start at box, click 1.

In the Numbering box, click either Restart each section or Restart each page.

Click Apply.

Yes, it is 2003. When you paste them together, the footnote numbers change to be continuous. I have MW 2007 upstairs on the new laptop, I think I wil rtf a few chapters and try it out on there. If I try to put in new endnotes the spacing is off-and I really don't want to type in about 300 endnotes again.

Oh, I will go upstairs and try that on the 2007 version, thank you AC.

Looks to me that it should work even on the '03 if you put continuous section breaks in at each chapter.

No, it doesn't work, and doesn't go in the text correctly. I think I will leave the numbers running continuous for now, it will only be a reading copy, and if they want it, they can tell me how to fix it.

Chronsgirl I use 2007 at work and I think it does what your asking for, but since I'm at home I have 2003 and ACC gave you the procedure for that. Word no matter what version can be tricky just keep playing with it. :p
