Attn: Word gurus. Help please?

I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while now, but does anyone know if there is a way to get Word to create a bibliography or endnotes FROM footnotes, or at least transfer footnotes to a separate page automatically?
Ive been doing it the manual (copy/paste) way for a while and Im convinced there MUST be a better way than that.
Too darn fiddly this way.

Anyone? Before I have to copy past this ridiculous number of footnotes? :eek:

To change footnotes to endnotes, go through the same process as you would when inserting a new footnote: select “Insert” from the menu bar, and choose “Reference,” then “Footnote.” In the dialogue box that pops up, click the button “Convert” (this button is underneath the “Locations” section).

This should bring up a new box reading “Convert all footnotes to endnotes” as an option. Click “OK.” All of your footnotes will now appear on the last page of your document.

Note: by default (on my computer, at least), Word numbers endnotes by Roman numerals, so to get Arabic numerals, you will then have to go back and do the same process again. This time, on the dialogue box highlight the button next to “Endnotes” in the “locations” section, and then click the drop-down menu next to “Number format.” Then you can simply choose Arabic numerals.

To add to what Skopo has already said, if you want both footnotes and endnotes, you can convert the footnotes to endnotes, copy the endnotes, convert back, add a new endnote, and then paste your copied endnotes.

Just make sure that you do this after you’re done with all of your editing, as the new endnotes won’t be linked to the items they’re referencing.

excellent. Thats easier than what I was doing. :smiley:
Anyone know of any macro or some such that might create the End notes “on the fly”? You know, type up in separate document whenever I enter footnotes?

Thanks
