Non-consecutive endnote numbering?

[New Daddy]

Can Word create non-consecutive endnote numbering in Word 2007 or later?



What I mean by that is, in some bibliographic style, you list the references only once in the endnotes, and cite to the reference's unique endnote number in the body text whenever it appears.

To refer to an existing endnote, use Insert|Cross-reference>Reference Type:Endnote>Insert Reference to:Endnote Number (formatted).

Thanks. It works!

I wish that Word's bibliography and endnote functions will interact someday to enable automatized cross-referencing. With the current cross-referencing, I have to remember whether certain reference has been cited (and thus resides in the endnote) or not. If there are tons of references and you miss, you'll create multiple endnotes for the same reference. It'd be so productive if Word could somehow check if a new reference to be inserted to the endnote has already been inserted and, if so, convert what was going to be a new endnote to a cross-reference instead.
