Word won't renumber endnotes coffent 4/4/2007 6:08:10 PM I deleted several endnote references in the text of a document. The associated references disappeared, but the automatic numbering won't renumber to remove the gaps in the reference numbers. I've done "Select All" and hit F9, tried changing the automatic numbering from 1,2,3... to a,b,c.... and back again, saved and retrieved the document, all to no avail. In the print layout view there is a grey line in the list of references above where the first deleted reference used to be, but no lines in places where other deleted references used to be. Does anyone have an idea how to force Word to renumber?

RE: Word won't renumber endnotes coffent 4/4/2007 6:18:04 PM Found the answer myself - I had "Track changes" turned on. It was necessary to accept all reference deletions before Word would renumber.

Re: Word won't renumber endnotes Cheryl Landes 12/15/2008 8:02:02 AM I have followed these steps on the document I am currently troubleshooting, and the renumbering still does not work. It is a book manuscript, almost 400 pages, so it will be an incredible amount of work to remove the endnotes and reinsert each one again. Are there any other alternatives?
