Problems with endnotes

[Guest]

I am writing a paper in Word 2002, and the automatic numbering feature for the endnotes was not working properly. It kept skipping 2, going directly from 1 to 3. I decided to delete all the endnote and cross-reference numbers from my paper and start over. Now, it is even worse. I tried entering the first three endnote numbers again, and I got 1, 3, and 5 instead of 1, 2, and 3. Why is it only giving me odd numbers?

Also, when I try to insert a cross-reference, the cross-reference box still has all of my old endnotes in it, even though I have deleted them. How do I remove them from the box?

Here's a macro to reinsert footnotes. A simple modification would allow it
to do the same thing for Endnotes (change every reference to Footnote to
Endnote)

' Macro created by Doug Robbins to re-insert Footnotes

Dim afnRange As Range, afntext As String, i As Integer

For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count

ActiveDocument.Footnotes(i).Reference.Select

Selection.Characters(1).Select

If Not Selection.Style = "Footnote Reference" Then

While Not Selection.Style = "Footnote Reference"

Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart

Selection.MoveLeft wdCharacter

Selection.Characters(1).Select

Wend

Selection.Delete

End If

Set afnRange = ActiveDocument.Footnotes(i).Range

afntext = afnRange.Text

ActiveDocument.Footnotes(i).Delete

ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Text:=afntext



Next i
