I am a writer thinking of moving across to Pages '09, but there seems to be a bug with using endnotes that might keep me collaborating with Microsoft for a little longer. I need to print off some good looking copies to give to friends for their comments before submitting it to publication, but I can't get things to look the way I like. Also I was hoping to use iwork.com, but I doubt that will be possible now.
I have a lot of references and additional notes, and I want to use endnotes rather than footnotes so that people won't get disturbed by footnotes. And I want to break the document down into sections - one section per chapter - and restart the endnote numbering notes for each section so that if people do want to look something up they won't get bamboozled by unwieldy numbers. In the notes section I should end up with "Endnotes for Chapter One", then the chapter one notes, "Endnotes for Chapter Two", etc.
In Inspector/Document/Document/Footnotes & Endnotes, there is a button with the option 'numbering restarts for each section'. I expected that to do the trick, but it didn't. The numbers didn't restart.
Is this a bug in the software? Is there a workaround? Have I done something stupid? Can anyone help? Please?
