Placement of Endnotes

[Bruce]

Hi,

I use Mac OS X MS word. For an upcoming publication, I have to use
endnotes. (Although it is beyond me, why any one would want to use
endnotes so you have to go flipping back and forth in the book rather
than footnotes so that the information is right there.) However, I
cannot figure out how to make the endnotes come before the
bibliography. MS Word keeps putting the endnotes at the end of the
document after the bibliography. Is it possible to make them come
after the text but before the biblio? I read in help about making the
endnotes come after the section, so I tried inserting a section after the
text so that the endnotes would then come at the end of the section,
but they still came after the biblio. Does anyone have any ideas? A
friend who is also submitting to the same anthology told me that she
typed the endnotes in manually, and I suppose that I will do that if I
dan't have any other options, but that doesn't sound so great and I am
worried about that option when i send it off to the publisher--perhaps
it will get garbled.

The solution really depends on whether your Mac version of Word works like
Word 2000 or Word 2002. I'd be willing to bet it's the latter (from your
description and also since I seem to recall that Word:Mac 2001 came out
before 2002 and OS X Word after it. That being the case, what you do is set
the endnotes to be at the end of each section instead of the end of the
document. Then, for each section before the one where you actually want them
to appear, go to the Layout tab of Page Setup and check "Suppress endnotes."

If you don't have this feature, then you'll have to do it the hard way. Let
the endnotes be at the very end and fudge the page numbering so that you can
rearrange the pages to put the endnotes before the bibliography.
