+ | |||
+ | 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.</ | ||

+ | ===== Q& | ||
+ | |||
+ | **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 punctuation. Simply insert the endnotes beside each other. TTS will be able to read them as separate notes, and the links will be separate as well, so there should be no confusion between them. | ||

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/ | 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.
