Word starts screwing up with more than 19 endnotes, help!

[Guest]

I'm writing a long thesis, with many endnotes. At the 20th endnote, Word
starts going nuts. The total page counter on the bottom of the screen starts
growing and finally I get a message indicating that the maximum number of
pages has been reached. The document still works but many features cause it
to crash.

Eternal repagination is a sign of corruption.

The first way to check for a corrupt document is to
copy the entire thing, *excluding* the last paragraph mark, into a new
document. That last paragraph mark holds a lot of information which can get
corrupted, and copying the text into a document with a fresh one keeps your
formatting, but can fix some glitches.

A paragraph mark is a ¶. Click on ¶ on the standard toolbar to show
nonprinting characters, including paragraph marks.

If that doesn't work, see this link for other corruption fixes.

Make sure that the Endnote Text style is not formatted as "Keep with next."
