The second method is done by selecting your entire document ( Ctrl+A) and then pressing F9. This is because the cross-references are implemented through the use of fields, and fields don't automatically update unless you (1) save and open the document anew, (2) force the fields to update, or (3) make Word think you are going to print the document.Īccomplishing the first method is easy-just close and open the document. There is one important thing to realize here-if you insert more endnotes, it may seem to you that your cross-references are not automatically updating. The cross-reference will use the same endnote number as the endnote you chose in step 5. In the list at the bottom of the Cross-reference dialog box, click once on the endnote you want to reference.In the Reference Type drop-down list, choose Endnote.

Word displays the Cross-reference dialog box.

Click the Cross-reference tool in the Captions group.

Display the References tab of the ribbon.

Place the insertion point where you want your second reference.

Assuming you've already created your endnotes, you would follow these steps: Now to how you can actually create multiple references to an endnote: You do this using cross-references. Most other popular style guides suggest the same (or similar) treatment for citations. Instead, you create a full citation at your first note location and then, in the subsequent location, you insert a second note that is a shortened citation to the same source material. For instance, if you follow The Chicago Manual of Style, you should not have multiple references to a single endnote (or footnote). Before explaining how to do it, however, you may want to check to see if doing so is consistent with whatever style guide you are following. More importantly, he wonders if he can do so in a way that if the endnotes are renumbered, the endnote reference numbers in the text will still be correct. Richard wonders if he can refer to a single endnote multiple times in a document.

There are times he wishes to refer to a particular reference several times, for example in the introduction to the paper and then in the discussion. Richard sometimes writes academic documents that include references in endnotes.
