Endnote bedlam

[Sean Booth]

I've been surfing looking for an answer to this for sometime, but to n
avail.
I'm using word 2002 (not my choice, work) and am nearing completion o
a document with about 60 endnotes.

I have cross referenced many times BUT Word doesn't update the field
to align the sequence of the endnotes. As an example I have reference
1,2,3,4, etc as endnotes but have found another quote or info withi
reference 24. So when i cross reference that same section, it appear
as 1,2,3,4,24..... not updated to 1,2,3,4,5.

I have tried the alt+F9 trick, and tried updating the field by righ
clicking on the reference number again to no avail.

Any other hints would be greatly appreciated

Footnote/endnote numbering updates dynamically; cross-references do not: you
have to update them manually by printing, switching to Print Preview, or
using Ctrl+A, F9.

Hi Suzanne and thank you for your reply.

I noted these solutions on this and other sites, unfortunately the
don't work. I'm wondering if I have a setting not set within word.
can't attach the file as it is too big, even when i cull i
substantially (300kb).

Cheers Sean

Hmm, are you saying that your references are listed, one per endnote,
at the end of the article, in the style of the journal *Science*? Then
in order to get ref. 24 to appear as ref. 5 instead of 24, you need to
move the note itself between notes 4 and the present 5. (Select note
reference 24, Cut it, and Paste it at the spot where you want it to
appear, after ref. 4.) You'll then have to insert a cross reference to
new note 5 at the point in your text where the note reference to ref.
24 used to be.

Thankyou for your reply Peter.

I was hoping not to do it this very manually intesive way, but you ar
right this worked.

Now to spend and hour or so rearranging my 60+ endnotes.

Thankyou to yourself and Suzanne
