Compiling endnotes in separate chapter

Hi all.

I'm using the trial of Pages 08 to see if it's a better option than Word for putting together a book manuscript – and so far so good – but I'm having trouble with endnotes.

I need to place all of my endnotes from each section (chapter 1, chapter 2, etc) in another separate section (named "Notes"), with headings for each chapter.

Is this possible in Pages?

Many thanks!
Brett.

Hi Brett

I had to grapple with a similar issue myself lately (how to put endnotes not at the end, but at some other place in one's document). No one in this knowledgeable forum came up with anything, until I found the (obvious) answer myself. There is a function for putting "section endnotes" at the end of a document section. It's actually easy to find, and documented in Pages Help.
Just insert a Section Break at the end of each of your chapters (you can see them if you turn on "Show Invisibles"), and then go to the Document Inspector, "Document" tab. There you'll find a menu that allows you to switch from Footnotes to Document Endnotes to Section Endnotes. Select Section Endnotes, and voila!
The only problem I have now is that Pages adds a little separator line in front of the endnotes, which I don't want. Whereas you could edit that separator to your taste in Word, and make it disappear completely, it seems to be fixed in Pages.

Hi Robert,

I don't have a problem switching between section endnotes and footnotes. The problem I have is putting all of the different section endnotes together in a different section called "Notes" at the end of the document rather than at the end of each section (as is common practice with academic writing).

I'm starting to think maybe Pages just can't do it!
