ENDNOTES ARE EASY!

Here is how I want you to do your endnotes.

Let's say you are writing your paper and you use one of your direct quotes.

According to Dr. Leighton Grant, owner of Towne Pharmacy in Springville, Alabama, the most important thing in life is not found in owning a successful business. He says, "The most important thing in life is found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ."

At the end of that quote, click on

INSERT then click

REFERENCE then click

FOOTNOTE


A little box should pop up with the heading "Footnote and Endnote." You have several options to click here.

Choose:

ENDNOTE (choosing this will automatically default to the choice "end of document")

Under "Number Format," choose the regular 1, 2, 3 numbers

Leave "Custom mark" blank.

Your default settings should be that you start at 1, numbering is continuous, and apply changes to whole document.

Then click on the INSERT button.

Voila! A little number one (1) has popped up all the way at the very end of your document. This is where you will put the details. In our example, it would look like this:


1 Grant, Dr. Leighton. Personal interview. 13 March 2008.

Questions? Please ask.

This is hard. I just got finished writing a 6 1/2 thousand word story for my other class. I think it fried my brain because its not working very good any more.

Hey Mrs. Powell,
On our paper, are we allowed to have more than one paragraph in each section?
