How do I separate end notes from the rest of the document?

[Guest]

How do I separate end notes from the rest of the document? I created endnotes
in my document but when I got to the end I created my own and deleted the
numbers. But now I can't backspace to get rid of the additonal page and when
i try to make a page break it creates another unnecessary page. Help!

I've read your question twice (here and in the other NG where you posted
it), and I still can't figure out what you actually did. Did you insert
endnotes using the Insert | Reference | Footnote command? Then how did you
"create your own"? What numbers did you delete? The endnote reference
numbers in the text (the correct method)? What additional page? I think
you'll have to give us a bit more to go on.

Hi Suzanne-

Thanks for your reply.
I used the insert reference endnote command to place the footnote numbers
within the text. When I got to the end of the document, I saw that it
automatically created the numbers in a list format to place the entries.
Instead of using the given numbered list, I deleted it and pasted my own onto
the end of the document. However, there are a couple of pages that come after
my endnotes (about the author & a bibliography) and the endnotes format with
the line along the top of page persists at the very end. When I try to
backspace to delete the unecessary page, it tells me that this function is
not allowed in endnotes. So bascially I have one extra page at the end of my
document that I can't figure out how to delete or at best at least delete the
page number so that it's a blank page.

Okay, so what you're saying is that you created endnotes without really
understanding how they would work?

First of all, if what you want is a numbered list of references, then you
need to use a different technique altogether (see the "Endnotes in
Alphabetical Order" section of
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/footnotefaq.htm).

Second, you don't have to have the endnotes at the very end of the document;
there is a way to get them to relinquish this position. See the "Text after
Endnotes" section of http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/footnotefaq.htm.
