Endnotes by Chapter

Thank you very much! I had a seven-chapter document in Word 2016 and was having an impossible time getting some chapters' endnotes to appear at the end of the chapter instead of at the end of the document, even though I had section breaks between each chapter. After reading this tip, I split my document into seven documents, made sure each one was set up correctly, created a new, blank document, set it up correctly, and inserted each chapter into it one at a time, with a new section break between each one. Your advice worked like a charm!

In "where do you want your Endnotes? page 1, point 6, layout tab, supress endnotes checkbox, will not allow for a check mark.
How do I change this disallowance to continue usage of this Endnotes' function, as I will not be allowed to utilize this Guide any further?
Please advise!??

Peter - I think what you can do is the following:
- choose the Endnote to appear at the End of document, but
-then change the format/numbering to 'restart each section'
Good luck!

Thank you very much. That was very helpfull!

I have a book as a single Word 2003 document. At present the footnotes are numbered continuously from 1 to 80 at the bottom of the page. What I want to achieve is to put them all at the end of the book, but numbered within each of the 16 chapters. How do I achieve that? Thanks Peter

Word nicely separates the endnotes for each chapter in my manuscript, but it doesn't recognize the difference between my preface and first chapter, numbering them continuously.

Any thoughts how I can fix that?

Thanks.

I made endnotes work for my manuscript, with separate numbering for each chapter and all the notes at the end.

My problem: Word doesn't recognized my preface as a separate chapter, and has continuous numbering for the notes in preface and chapter 1. (For some reason it does distinguish between notes for last chapter and epilogue, treating each separately).

Any advice?

Thanks

How do I split a section showing the endnotes at the end of each of the two sections

No matter what I do the endnotes for all chapters still appear at the end of the combined document.

Amelie,
I'm having the exact same problem as you are. I either get all the footnotes at the end (when I put the section break at end of each text), or the new text (next chapter) is treated as a new footnote itself with line over it if I put the section break after the footnotes. It seems like there's no clear way to do this - it seems like a bug in the program to me. Have you figured it out?

Thanks, I have followed all steps, but it does not work on mac. The problem is that when a new section (chapter) is inserted with its own endnotes, it is not possible to insert a section break AFTER the endnotes, because word takes it still as an endnotes space. if the section break is inserted BEFORE the endnotes, than it throws the chapter endnotes at the very end of the document, rather than end of the section.

How anyone is to know that "section break" can be found under the Page Layout tab, under "breaks", then to "Next Page" under "Section Breaks" is beyond me. I, luckily stumbled upon it, because the regular "page break" was unenabled. It took awhile, but I got there. This is like the cook instructor who says to cover the dough with a tea towel. Well, everyone has a tea towel nearby - whatever that is.
