Renumbering endnotes in master document
I am putting the several chapters of my dissertation into a master document,
but I am having a problem with the endnotes. I want to put each chapter's endnotes at the end of the chapter and restart numbering. The problem is that I have several sections in each chapter; I've figured out how to suppress the endnotes until the last section in each chapter, but I've only figured out two options I have with Master Document: either a) have the numbering be continuous from the first to last chapter, or b) have several 1s, 2s, etc. in a chapter's endnotes because each section in the chapter is restarting its numbering. (Hope that description makes sense!) How can I make the endnotes for each chapter appear at the end of that chapter and continuously number that chapters' endnotes starting from 1? Thanks for any help! |

I don't think you can do this. You cannot restart endnotes at a certain
number by section, only by document. It would make a ton of sense if the Master Document "feature" recognized a subdocument as a different type of section and automatically worked around this problem, but apparently not. However, you should beware of Master Documents anyhow: Why Master Documents corrupt: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...ocsCorrupt.htm How to recover a Master Document: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...MasterDocs.htm Steve Hudson [Word Heretic] on how to make Master Documents work safely: http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/ma...dhomepage.html This may be the only option for you, to leave them in separate files: Creating a Table of Contents Spanning Multiple Documents http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=148 On 6/14/05 1:44 PM, "Muchun Yin" wrote: I am putting the several chapters of my dissertation into a master document, but I am having a problem with the endnotes.
