Adding Information after the Endnotes

To Chris Patrick: Based on my using Word, unfortunately endnotes are either at the end of document OR at the end of each section. If you put the endnotes at the end of the document (which is what you want), there is no way I know to append material at the end.

To Chris & Everyone: Consider cutting the gordian knot. If possible, put all information as a separate document (adjust the starting page number). Then create 2 PDF files and join them into one document.

Hi Allen,

Thank you. This is really helpful and for most of my reports works fine. Sometimes though I want to have other section breaks in the middle of the report, usually to accommodate a section with horizontal layout. In this case the endnotes at end of section tip seems not to work as all the endnotes up to the point of the layout change appear prior to the horizontal section, when I would rather all endnotes were at the end of the body of the report.

Is there any way to e.g. specify after which section you want endnotes to appear? I can't see anything obvious through the interface (using Word 2016).

Many thanks!
Chris Patrick

This still treats the additional material as endnotes = some of the normal Word functions do not work; there is a line at the top of all the additional pages. What is needed is a way to mark a section of the paper as ENDNOTES and not have that interfere with the previous and following sections. What you have described "grabs" the following material and treats it as endnotes. Is there a way to start a NEW section after the ENDNOTES that is not treated as ENDNOTES?

Hi Allen,

I have a book manuscript in Word 10, and created an index for it, but the index wound up appearing ahead of the endnotes and bibliography. Will this tip help me correct that error? I really need to get the index in the right place before I submit the manuscript to the publisher

The endnotes and biblio have a line that appears on all the pages. Does that mean they are in a section break? If so, how can I cut and paste the Index to the end og the document? It won't let me do it now. I get an error message saying that material can't be placed there.

Thanks for your help.

Almost every book has the index(es) last, after the endnotes. Why doesn't Word default to this? On a slightly different subject, when Word puts up a 2-page display, why don't the odd-numbered pages appear on the right?

Following your instruction on how to add pages after the end notes, my end notes disappeared.

Utterly useless for a document that contains multiple text sections, such as a thesis or book.

This works well if you only have endnotes for one section of a document. But if you have several chapters with the endnotes for all chapters at the end of the work--the additional information? The additional information will appear after the last chapter endnotes and the other end notes will then be placed after the end of their appropriate chapters--instead of the end of the document.

Hi, please help as urgently need to finish editing the book manuscript.

I need to insert the bibliography after the endnotes in word 10 but still keep the endnotes in the end of the document - not after each section.

I tried to follow the tip above but in my document the endnotes appear after each section then and not before the bibliography as needed. Many thanks, have a good day

Pete Brazier (and Chris for noting the issue as well), you've saved my life. I've got about 24 hours left before I turn in my thesis, and I was running into some pretty frustrating issues because of the lack of section break.

In short: thank you all!

Well, I tried this trick on another document and it did not work. Sigh.

Thank you. You are a lifesaver. I've been struggling with this for ages.

The description is almost accurate but it neglects to say, if there aren't any section breaks already in your document you will need to insert one where you want the end notes to be. The section break options are on the 'page layout' ribbon in the 'page setup' group. Click on 'breaks' for options.

This is absolutely no help to me. I tried doing what Francie described, but it didn't get me anywhere.

This worked for me and saved me a lot of frustration when I was preparing a manuscript to fit a scientific journal's rather picky specifications for final submissions. I was using Windows 7 and Word 2010.

horrible description. no help

Worked like a charm for me! Key was to insert section break starting on next page a couple of lines following end of main text, then position cursor immediately following the main text before open endnote/footnote dialogue box and applying.

The author forgot to explain how to add a section break.

didn't work for me either. I try to put the mouse after the endnotes to add my references but I am still in endnote world.

This is NOT working for me on Word for Mac 2011. SO frustrating!!
