Never use two note numbers at the end of a sentence. To cite multiple sources in a single note, separate the two citations with a semicolon.
Be sure to look at shortened form examples for sources you refer to more than once. Never reuse a number - use a new number for each reference, even if you have used that reference previously. Single space each entry double space between entries. Put the word Notes (not Endnotes) at the top of the page with your endnotes. Be sure to use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) nor Roman (i, ii, iii). The note number goes after all other punctuation. Within the essay text: put the note number at the end of the sentence where the reference occurs, even if the cited material is mentioned at the beginning of the sentence. Footnotes go at the bottom of the page where the reference occurs endnotes go on a separate page after the body of the paper. Select references for your list using the mouse and holding down the Ctrl key while multiple references are selected. Select the portion you want to hide (such as ",4,5,") and the macro does the hiding and adds the dash. If you have quite a few such operations to perform in your text, you can automate it slightly by using the following macro: For instance, you could select ",4,5," from the references "3,4,5,6", format the selection as hidden text, and then add a dash to provide the result of "3-6". If the client still insists on having multiple endnote references at a single location, one solution is to select the intermediate references in the range, format them as hidden text, and then add a dash. In fact, style guides take pains to point out that multiple note references at the same location should be "rigorously avoided" ( Chicago Manual of Style, Fifteenth Edition, 16.34 and 16.37). It is not very common to have multiple endnote references at the same point in a document, therefore it is not surprising that Word does not have an option to list endnote references by range. Michael's client would prefer that the reference show as (3-6), showing the range of endnotes rather than an individual enumeration of each endnote. These are shown in Word as, for example, (3,4,5,6). At times there may be multiple endnote references at a given point in the document. Michael Smith is working with a client's document that uses endnotes extensively.
