I’m failry desperate - an E7X user who didn’t have time to learn the program start-to-finish, and is now facing a writing deadline and being held up by my lack of familiarity with the program…
The most pressing issue is this: my publisher wants chapters deleivered as one file, with a separate file for each chapter’s notes. I have 9 chapters, so will correspondingly need 9 separate notes files. But I don’t know how to remove the endnotes from the Word document. I can cut and paste and then copy them to make the notes file, but I don’t know how to separate them from the Word file - if that’s even possible. It may be more an issue with Word, so if the question is not appropriate please let me know…
Yes, this an MS Word issue not an EndNote software issue but you can copy the endnotes into a new MS Word document. However, note that the numbering sequence will be lost as all of the endnotes will be numbered as “i” (one). So you will need to manually renumber each endnote.
Removing endnotes from an MS Word document is a bit more tedious as you will need to:
Locate each in-text endnote by number then manually type-in a replacement number and superscript and italicize the number. This faux number identifies the corresponding endnote. (Note:If you click on the endnote number it will automatically place your cursor next to the endnote’s in-text location. To minimize confusion from MS Word’s tendency to renumber endnotes as they are deleted, it’s helpful to work in descending order - from highest to lowest endnote number.)
Then delete the original “true” endnote number which in turn will delete the corresponding endnote appearing at the end of the document.
Mind you – I found the below in another thread - so you might start with Tech Support?
