Long-time users of Word know that you can place endnotes in a document and you can specify for them to appear either at the end of a section or at the end of the document as a whole. Word 2002 introduced a new capability for endnote placement, however, that can be very beneficial: You can choose to suppress endnotes for specific sections of your document.
What does this mean for you? Let's say that you have five sections in your document. The first four are "chapters," and the last one is an index. You may think that you are limited to placing your endnotes at the end of each chapter or after the index. Not any more; with Word 2002 and Word 2003 you can specify that you want the endnotes to appear at the end of the fourth section, just before the index section. Just follow these steps:
Figure 1. The Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog box.
That's it. What you did was to suppress endnotes in sections 1, 2, and 3. This pushes them to the end of section 4, which is your last chapter—exactly where you wanted them before your index in section 5.

In Word 16 (at least) endnotes start a new column and both main text and endnotes' columns (if more than one) are justified (they finish at the same hight).
I couldn't avoid this although I want my main text to end where it should as if no endnotes and the endnotes to start right after and finish unjustifdied.
Do you know how to?
Thanks a lot
