- | ====Inserting Notes==== | + | As you go through your text, you will need to insert the space for endnotes, and once you have prepared the space, you will need to copy and paste the book's endnotes into it. |

+ | * Copy the footnotes/ | ||
+ | * Save your notes document, and delete the footnotes and endnotes from your book (not the superscript references, just the text that you have moved over to a new document) | ||
+ | * Navigate down to your endnotes section at the end of your document, and place your cursor by the first one. Check the Styles Pane to make sure the Style is '' | ||

+ | =====Alternate Step 2: Different Method for Working with Endnotes===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is also a method for viewing and editing one document in different places using Word's Split Screen feature. [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you have prepared the space for the endnotes by inserting endnote references into your text, you can then: | ||
+ | * On MS Office Word, press '' | ||
+ | * On one of those split screens, navigate to your endnotes section at the end of your document | ||
+ | * On the other, navigate to the original endnotes from your etext | ||
+ | * Begin cutting the notes from the etext and pasting them into the space you made for them | ||
+ | |||
+ | <note tip>Make use of Web Layout rather than Print Layout, which will allow you to see more of the document in each split screen.</ | ||

+ | =====Advanced Tip===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most books will have endnotes with numbering that restarts at the end of every chapter. But we use Continuous Numbering. This can become problematic when you are copy/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | One option is to keep checking the endnotes in your etext document against your original EPUB or PDF. This helps to confirm that you have things in the right order, but still does not help confirm if your numbering is correct. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The best solution takes a few steps, but is very helpful and does not take up too much time. | ||
+ | * When you do the initial set-up in the '' | ||
+ | * As you go through your text, insert section breaks at the end of every chapter, or whenever the endnote numbering restarts in the original book. To do this: | ||
+ | * go to the '' | ||
+ | * select either Continuous or Next Page in the Section Breaks section. These will be deleted later so it does not matter which option you choose | ||
+ | * {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Taking these steps will ensure that the numbering in your etext matches the numbering in the original, so you can be confident that you are on track. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you are all done copying and pasting your endnotes into the endnotes section, you will need to: | ||
+ | * delete all of the section breaks that you inserted (see how to do this on [[public: | ||

+ | ===== Q&A Archive ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Q: My current book makes extensive use of endnotes, which can sometimes appear in the original like this.[4][5] When going through to edit this, should I insert a superscripted comma or something between the 4 and 5 to better differentiate between the two notes?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: Great question! You don't have to add any additional | ||

+ | Instead of using numbered | ||

+ | A: "A novel approach" | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Q: Island of the Blue Foxes uses a style of endnotes that refers to page numbers instead of to endnote numbers. Because of this, should I retain the page numbers in the book? If so, this might be difficult because the ePub version does not note page separation.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: We can insert the endnotes as usual, and keep the endnote content as is. As you say, the epub doesn' | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Q: Just to add to the previous question about Island of the Blue Foxes: What if there are no numbered references to the end notes? They *only* reference the page number where it appears in the book...** | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: I took at look at the Island of the Blue Foxes, and there appear to be no in-text notes at all in the book. If that's correct, then we can create a Notes section (H1) which contains the listing of the print notes (just as in the EPUB). This would be just Normal text with H2s for the chapter/ | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Q: My current book has both endnotes //and// asterisk style footnotes. Can you suggest how I might deal with this?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: We can handle the asterisk style footnotes (annotations) as if they are endnotes. |
