Default End notes in sections

Hello : I have a long document that is divided into sections created using the 'Next Page' option in the Breaks section of Layout. In the first section, I've used footnotes throughout. However, in the second and subsequent sections I need to use end notes that have to appear at the end of each section.


With section 2 visible I've set up the end note dialogue to reflect what I need : Footnotes at end of section . -- numbering restart each section. -- Apply changes to this section. See attachment.





Unfortunately, every time I try to enter a note it ends up at the very end of the whole document, not the current section. No matter what I try, I get the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In a section with endnotes, right-click in the endnote area and choose Note Options from the context menu. Choose the number format you want and specify that the notes should be at the end of section and that they should restart on each section. Choose the "Whole document" option in the "Apply changes to" box. Finally, click Apply.

The key step is that you choose "Whole document," I believe. Word isn't reliable when setting endnote (or footnote) options for just one section. This applies to numbering restarts in particular.

Here, using the "Whole document" should work fine since you want the endnotes restarted in each section and you want them at the bottom of the section in each section. The first section has no endnotes, only footnotes, so the settings for endnotes there won't make a difference.
