Putting Endnotes Where You Want Them

Word allows you to control where your endnotes appear, if you are using endnotes. You can cause them to appear either at the end of each section in your document or at the end of the document itself. If you don't use sections in your documents, then there is effectively no difference between the two choices. If, however, you use sections to break apart your document into chapters (or some other arbitrary division), then there is a big difference between the two placements.

To control where Word places endnotes in your document, follow these steps:

1. Display the References tab of the Ribbon and click the small arrow icon at the bottom-right of the Footnotes group. Word displays the Footnote and Endnote dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
2. Choose the Endnotes radio button.
3. Using the drop-down list to the right of the Endnotes radio button, select where you want Word to place your endnotes.
4. Click on Apply.
