Hi,

Is it possible to create separate lists of numbered Document Endnotes in one Pages document?

I'm writing a book with numbered in-text references. For example:

In Chapter 1: "Blah blah blah." 1
Then later in Chapter 1: "Blah blah blah." 2
Then in Chapter 2: "Blah blah blah" 3
etc.

Currently, my Document Endnotes are just:

1 Blah
2 Blah
3 Blah

What I would like my Document Endnotes to look like is this:

Chapter 1:

1 Blah
2 Blah

Chapter 2:

3 Blah

etc.

Can this be done?

Cheers.
 
well this is why all people who I know, including me, don't even try to do complex wordprocessing with Pages but use MS Word instead.
Maybe unfair to Pages because it might be able to do what one wants (meanwhile)...
 
LibreOffice is free, and it appears to have more Endnote options than Pages does, especially if you go to the menu "Insert > Section..." and then click on the "Footnotes/Endnotes" tab. Yes, there is also "Footnotes and Endnotes" option under the Insert menu, but it doesn't give you the specialized options for customizing how you want your Endnotes to appear. Will it do what you want? I can' say for sure, but it can't hurt to at least give it a quick try, since it's free.

Side note: One reason I love LibreOffice is because it is the only app I've ever found that is easily able to import/open seemingly almost every file type from the early 1980s to the present day with very little, if any, loss of the original formatting.

Thanks. I’ll give it a whirl.
