Adding Information after the Endnotes

JSayin, your instruction is marvelously working! I was able to place the Index after the Endnotes at the end. I am using Word 2013.

Thanks JSayin, your instruction works! I am using the Microsoft Word 2013.

This does not work if the document has multiple sections. Then the only way to do it is to change the page numbers of what you want at the end (say the index), and save that part as a separate pdf, and then delete it and create a pdf of the rest of the document with the end note at the end where wrod puts them. Then paste the two pdfs together. It is clunky, but it can be done.

In Microsoft Office Word 2010 I have a large document with 500 endnotes and I want my Bibliography to come after them; I have inserted a Section Break after the main document text but the Bibliography is still acting as if it is in the protected Endnote section. When you ‘hover’ over the last Endnote in the text, the boxed grey ‘tooltip’ not only has the endnote itself but the entire Bibliography as well! This is odd since I thought I had already inserted a break after the main text to separate the Endnotes from the ensuing Bibliography.

I’m puzzled.

Can anyone help?

Click VIEW tab
Click DRAFT (hides the actual end notes)
Click CTRL+END to go to the end of the document
Click PAGE LAYOUT -- BREAKS -- SECTION BREAKS -- NEXT PAGE
Click REFERENCES tab
Click the dialog box in the FOOTNOTES area
Click ENDNOTES and change to END OF SECTION
Click APPLY
Click VIEW tab
Click PRINT LAYOUT

The easiest instruction I found on how to do this was:

Click VIEW tab
Click DRAFT (hides the actual end notes)
Click CTRL+END to go to the end of the document
Click PAGE LAYOUT -- BREAKS -- SECTION BREAKS -- NEXT PAGE
Click REFERENCES tab
Click the dialog box in the FOOTNOTES area
Click ENDNOTES and change to END OF SECTION
Click APPLY
Click VIEW tab
Click PRINT LAYOUT

Seems to me this would work only if you don't already have several sections in your document, as doing this would put endnotes at the end of each section—doesn't work if, say, you are writing a book with several chapters and want all the endnotes at the end of the book (but want a few pages after that for other things).

I ended up having two documents, one for the book and the endnotes, and another for the material I wanted after the endnotes. Then I exported both to .pdf and appended one to the other. A real pain in the posterior work-around, but at least better than being stuck with the limitations of the word processing software.

You are correct, Ken. That's why this tip is plainly marked to work only with versions up through Word 2003. If you want instructions for later versions (including Word 2010), click the link that appears at the beginning and end of this tip.

If you are using Word2010 none of the above steps will work.

SO helpful! Thank you so much.

I think you need also to change page configuration: there's an option there about changing footnotes from end of document to end of section.

This does not work for me. It is not clear in any of the online instructions on this where to place the cursor, and my button becomes disabled. I am desperate; it is the very last thing in a two-year thesis. Pulling my hair out.
