Working with end notes in two documents

[cheffie]

Hello, I've spent a lot of time on a 45-page document fixing various errors with foot and end notes (I eventually got rid of all foot notes and ended up with just end notes. At the same time, my colleague made edits and added additional text to the body of the same document (the version with the foot/end note errors) but did not add additional foot or end notes. My question: is there a way i can merge the two docs, but keeping my version with the corrected end notes? In other words, take my colleague's version with the additional text but keeping my corrected end notes. thanks!

You could try Word's Document Compare feature, but you'll need to be careful as to which of the documents you choose for the original and revised documents. How successful this might be depends to some extent on how extensive the edits have been.

Thanks! I'll give it a try
