Refering to the same endnote more than once

Hi,

I used the cross reference feature to insert a refernce to an existing endnote ( Insert>Reference>Cross-Reference). However, when I click it, it takes me to the first reference within the document and not to the bottom of the document where the actual list of endnotes is. Is there a way to make the click take me to the actual endnote in the list of endnotes?

Thanks a lot,

I.

Inserting a cross-reference to an endnote only ever inserts that cross-reference to the original endnote reference in the document, not to the endnote content. To go to the actual endnote via a cross-reference, you need to click on the cross-reference, then on the original endnote reference.

I'm having the same problem right now.

I insert ENDNOTE to 1st reference, then CROSS-REFERENCE for 2nd and 3rd reference to that same ENDNOTE as the 1st reference; however, clicking on the 2nd and 3rd reference only goes to 1st reference, instead of the ENDNOTE, and clicking on the ENDNOTE only goes back to the 1st reference.

I'm trying to have it so if the last CLICKED reference, either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, all goes to ENDNOTE and clicking the ENDNOTE goes back to the last CLICKED reference, either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, like a footprint track back itself, and vice-versa.

Does anybody know how to do this?

As I've already said, if you insert a cross-reference to an endnote, clicking on the cross-reference only takes you to the endnote reference, not to the endnote. If you want to go to the endnote, click on the endnote reference.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. This process is such a double-sided inconvenient.

If we want to to got the endnote itself, you should have specified the "1ST" endnote reference because clicking the "2ND" endnote reference only goes back to the "1ST" endnote reference, yet now here's what you mean by clicking on this "1ST" endnote reference will now take you to the endnote itself.

It's like rerouting itself back to "1ST" endnote reference for all the other ones that follow being clickd on that corresponds to that same endnote...

Yet clicking the actually ENDNOTE at the end itself, will only go back to that "1ST" endnote, and not the other ones that share it...like a pingback track footprint.

Simply add the hyperlink forward/back buttons to the QAT and use those...

Click on the QAT's dropdown, choose 'More Commands', then locate & add the hyperlink forward/back buttons from the 'Commands Not in the Ribbon' group.

The QAT is the Quick Access Toolbar.

  1. Right-click on it and choose Customize Quick Access Toolbar...
  2. In the Customize the Quick Access Toolbar dialog, under "Choose commands from," select Commands Not in the Ribbon.
  3. Scroll down to Back and click Add>> to add it to the QAT.
  4. Repeat, if desired, for Forward.
