Greetings --

I'm working on a journal with six articles -- and each has their own End Notes. As you can guess, after an article's End Notes, any text that I try to enter replicates the End Notes style.

Insert Section Break is grayed out.

Is there a way I can create new sections for each article or otherwise wrassle my way around those End Notes sections?

Thanks very much, in advance --

Best,

Michael

Here's the fix I used before Word 2008:

[1] Go to the current end of your document, between the body text and the End Notes
(Optional: Click the � icon in the toolbar, just so you can see what's going on)

[2] Insert a Section Break (Next Page) after the last word of the section. In Word 2007, you click Page Layout > Breaks > Section Break (Next Page).

[3] Type some gibberish, just for show

[4] Scroll down to the endnotes, and right click anywhere inside the first endnote. Click "note options/" Switch location to "end of section"

[5] Click "Apply"

This seems to no longer work in Word 2008 (MAC) at step [4], because there is no "note options" to click.

Just updating in case anyone else is having the same problem.

Thanks,

Michael

Thanks very much, CyberTaz -- I appreciate that.

I followed the MAC portions of the instructions, but they don't work for Word 2008 (MAC) -- the radio button, the "click on Options" to change the setting, and "Format>Document" in order to click on Layout tab -- none of those seem to apply in my version of Word.

Thanks, though -- I appreciate the heads-up, and I'll keep trying.

Michael
