References and help ASAP....

[Guest]

Hi, I know what I want to do, but unsure if this is going to work...

I'm working on a new project, I expect it to be about 50-75 pages in length.

It will have maps, photographs, text etc about my subject...

I need to provide a list of resources at the end of my project's piece, I
currently insert a comment around anything that I have borrowed from the
internet (such as a quote etc).

At the end of projects I normally go through it, noting down the references
I've put in the comments and building a table up towards the end of my
document....

I would like to create a way I can "designate" text, pictures and maps etc
as a "Resource" and it automatically generate a table at the end of the
document with a list of all my borrowings, with page numbers. - It would be
ideal if I could also leave my comments in and they become a third column in
the resulting table...

Much like a table of contents, taken from HEADING 1, HEADING 2 etc, with the
page number, just an extra bit of information.

Any ideas on how to best tackle this?

I've seen the references bit, but unsure of it's practical use.

TIA

Version of Word?

You definitely want to try whether Endnotes suits your purpose. In Word
2003, this would be found under Insert | References | Footnotes (I think).
