This is best done by using Find and Replace to implement a workaround. So, what is a person to do? Assuming that you have the "Arabic" portion figured out-it can be specified when actually inserting your endnotes-you only need to figure out how to remove the superscript and add the period. Daniel doesn't need the endnote references within the document changed he only needs them changed in the numbering in the endnotes themselves. If you change the style, you automatically change how both of these look. The problem is, the Endnote Reference style is automatically applied to two things when you insert an endnote-to the endnote reference in the document itself and to the endnote reference that appears in the endnotes. The Endnote Reference (as its name implies) defines how the reference number for the endnote appears. The Endnote Text style defines how the text of the endnote appears. There are actually two styles specifically designed for controlling how endnotes look: Endnote Reference and Endnote Text. (Word superscripts the endnote number and doesn't include the period.) Daniel wonders about the easiest way to get Word to follow the style that he requires.Īt first blush you might think you could change how the endnote numbering appears by adjusting the styles used in Word. This is not the way that Word creates the endnote numbering. The style guide he needs to follow states that endnotes should be an Arabic number, not superscripted, followed by a period. Daniel has a document that has many endnotes in it.
