Inserting material after End-notes

[Ray Crotty]

Hi,
I've got a book of about 350 pages including a 30 page End-notes section. I
need to append an Index and an About the Author section, but Word 2000
doesn't seem to want to let me do so.
In Print Layout view the Insert, Break option is greyed out, so I cannot use
that view to append the additional sections I need.
In Normal view I see a Section Break (Continuous) after the text of the
final chapter of the book. This is followed by a Section Break (Next Page),
followed in turn by the word 'Notes' - my heading for the Footnotes.
Whereever I place the cursor at the end of the word Notes, and try to insert
the index it creates and inserts the index ok, but inserts it before the
Notes section, screwing up the pagination of the endnotes.

I'd be really grateful for some hell with this - and needless to say my
deadline is imminent.

Unfortunately, when you choose to place endnotes at the end of the document
(as opposed to the end of every section), Word interprets this quite
literally. About the only option is to create the Index and About the Author
in a separate document; for an index, of course, that is a total nightmare.
If anyone has figured out a workaround for this, I don't know what it is.

FWIW, the ability to put endnotes in a specified location was one of the
items on the Word MVPs' Wish List for Word 11 (the version currently in
development), along with a number of other note-related requests to assist
users attempting academic documentation.

Ray:

It's a ridiculous bug in the design. As Suzanne points out, we yelled at
them, but so far they have not fixed it. Please add your shout to ours by
emailing msw...@microsoft.com with "Word Bug" in the subject line to ensure
the machine steers it to the correct department.

I am afraid you will have to simply remember to cut and paste the Endnotes
into their correct position before printing the document each time.

Once you have generated the End Notes (by updating fields) you can simply
drag the whole thing to its rightful place.

Cheers.

I didn't know you could move them. That helps a little, at least. Thanks for
that, John.

Hi John and Suzanne,
Thanks for your fast response - much as I feared unfortunately.
The work-around I'm planning is to have two versions of the book: one without the
an index, the second with the index inserted before the End-notes. This means
never making an index reference to anything in the end notes, but it's a lot
better than having to do the whole thing over.

I'll have a shout at them as you suggest.
