I am writing an instruction manual with many endnotes and footnotes. I want the endnotes to be on a specific page, specifically after the references, say they are on page x.
The document is split into many sections using the different styles available in word.
If I choose the endnotes should be at the end of the document, then I cannot put any text after them, which I would like to do.
If I choose the endnotes should be at the end of the section, then each new heading style starts a new section, so the endnotes are smack in the middle of the page.
Is there a way to create an endnote and make it appear immediately after a specific section, say my References?
If a potential solution involves macros, I have no experience writing them, so I'll need to know how to create and insert them if that is the case.
Thanks.
P.S. There is no endnotes tag so I used footnotes.

I have created master document in libreoffice and added some subdocuments (odt) and I need to put page break between them. Every new document needs to start with new page. I have found some answers on forum but there are not very clear. Thanks in advance!
Before this I used different page style, so I used manual break to use different page style for rest of document. I need to remove this enter tag, if I delete it, it deletes a manual page break.
I need to add page break.
I got this answer at ask.libreoffice.org and I think it is worth of share.
If your sub-documents represent chapters in your book, you have a much
more elegant solution than adding manually page breaks in the master.
I assume that your files are all styled (which is a necessity when
working with master + subs otherwise formatting becomes a nightmare)
and you assigned Heading 1 to the chapter headings.
Then customize Heading 1 in the master to add a page break (before) in
the Text Flow tab properties.
An even better approach is to share all styles between master and subs
with a personal template. Master and subs should be based on this
template. A template brings in the possibility to automatically update
formatting of all documents: change the style definition in the
template; next time you open a document, you’re asked if you accept
the update.
I'd like to minimize the number of times I have to type dates and version numbers across release notes pages and such on Confluence.
How can I reuse a text string within the same page as well as across pages on Confluence?
Right now, I have a bit of text (for example, a version number) which is typed out in multiple locations:
Page A
Top of page
Middle of page
End of page
Page B
I'd like to be able to type the value once and have it automatically appear in all places.
There are multiple bits of text I'd like to do this with on one page.
The closest I've found so far is the MultiExcerpt macro, but unfortunately it displays all content with newline wrapping instead of inline and that's a dealbreaker for me.
You may want to look into Comala Metadata, sounds like what you are looking for.
Disclaimer, I work in the company behind that app, in Comalatech.

Have you tried using Confluence own Include Macro or the Excerpt Macro. The include macro can be inline if you keep it on the same line in the editor.
There is an official extension called Multi Excerpt. It works like Excerpt, but you can use more then one for one page.
I'm looking at Word as part of a document generation solution for a law firm. There are different documents that need to show/hide certain clauses/sections based on business rules and logic that can be fairly in depth - things like a specific judge in a specific county requiring certain information, so entire sections of the document may be shown or hidden based on this logic.
I'm aware of the Content Controls in Word, but is it possible to have nested content controls inside each other? For example, let's say I have a dynamic paragraph (i.e. it might be shown or hidden based on some business rule) and that paragraph also needs to display the name of the plaintiff, which is retrieved from a database.
Our current solution uses a pseudo templating language inside of the Word docs that gets parsed out and replaced (something like {FIELD "FIELD_NAME"} which would insert the value of FIELD_NAME) and it seems to work fairly well but I'm curious if it couldn't be improved using built-in features of Word instead of custom software.
Is something like this possible? I've found an article for Word that seems to indicate this exact scenario, but no articles or resources explaining how to actually achieve it.
Sure, you can nest other content controls within a rich text content control.
You can do this programmatically (in Word using VBA, or in a VSTO Add-In).
But first just try it in Word (enable the Developer ribbon, then insert a rich text control, then insert other content controls in that). A rich text content control can contain paragraphs, tables etc (provided that it is block level, not run level).
I have been tasked with updating a Word 2010 fillable form for one of our departments. In various places in the form it uses a drop-down box with the same 20-or-so items in the list. I would like to make it so all occurrences of this box fill from a master list, thus making it easier to update in the future. I know in Excel you can do this with Data Validation and selecting a source list from somewhere else in the workbook. Is it possible to do something similar (reference a table, hidden text, etc) in Word? I have not been able to locate a feature in Word that looks promising, nor have my Google searches yielded anything useful. I realize this would probably work in VBA, but I'm hoping to avoid adding code to the workbook if possible. I would also prefer that the list be updateable by someone who does not know VBA. I'm not looking to do the impossible, so if you know for a fact that this cannot be done, say so and I'll move on.
Thanks.
my company's software product has a feature that allows users to generate forms from Word templates. The program auto fills some fields from the SQL database and the user can fill in other data that they desire. So we have a .dotx template that holds the design of the form, and then the user gets the .docx file to fill out when they call it from our program.
The problem we're having is that some of our users have been finding that the forms take an exceptionally long time to open up and then, once open, are so slow to respond (scroll around, etc) that they're unusable. So in my investigations so far, I've found out that the problem systems are one with lower powered CPUs (unfortunately it happens for systems above our system requirements) and the Word forms that cause the problems are ones with large amount of ActiveX style checkboxes on them. I verified that reducing the ActiveX checkboxes fixes the form loading problems.
So I have the following questions about solutions (we're using Word 2007):
1) Is there any way to configure Word, or some other settings, so that there won't be such a strain opening a Word form with lots of ActiveX checkboxes? Any way of speeding up Word's opening?
2) Using Legacy style checkboxes instead of the ActiveX ones makes the forms load fine, but it looks like the user has to double-click the checkbox and change Default Value->Checked. Is there a way to configure it so that they can simply click on the checkbox to tick it? "Legacy Forms" checkbox as a name kind of worries me (Legacy…), does that mean a future version of word at some point wouldn't load the checkboxes because they're "legacy"?
3) Yes, it became clear to me after a little bit of research into solutions that Word is not the tool for the job for forms like I'm describing. InfoPath seems to be exactly what we should have been using all along but unfortunately I wasn't involved in the decision making or development of these forms, just tasked with coming up with a solution.
I'd appreciate answers to any of these, or if anyone has any other ideas for solutions to this problem.
Thanks
I'm about 3 years too late, but if you want a legacy checkbox to act like a checkbox, you have to restrict editing on the document or section. (You can lock just a section, if you want.) Locking--on Word 2010 it's called "Restrict editing"--is an option under either the Developer tab or the Review tab.
If you restrict editing in this way, the user cannot edit the text but can fill in the form field, so if the form field is a checkbox, the user can click the checkbox on or off; if the form field is a text box, the user can fill the text box.
If you choose to lock off just a section, you'll probably want to use continuous section breaks (Page Layout > Breaks > Continuous) and specify which section. (In the space where you choose form editing as your kind of restriction, there's a small link that lets you specify which section or sections are locked.)
