Endnotes in Word


kelby carlson <kelbycarlson@...>
 

hello,

Is there an easy way to either (a) get a list of all of the
endnotes/footnotes in a Word document or to move from the place in the
text where there is a footnote/endnote directly to the endnote itself?

Hi Kelby,

You didn't mention which version of Word you are using, but in recent versions:

alt+s (to open the references ribbon)
h to "show notes'

this moves from the main part of the document to the endnote / footnote section at the nearest note, or if in the endnote or footnote section, it moves back to the main part of the document.  If you have both endnotes and footnotes it will ask which to go to.

There is a longer section on this and other referencing features in Word in the upcoming Microsoft Word with NVDA which will be available from NV Access shortly.

Regards

Quentin

I don't really need to buy the entire training package; most of the
features of Word carry over from JAWS to NVDA. What I'm trying to
figure out how to do is go immediately to a particular
footnote/endnote, say note 80 of a document, without having to arrow
through the entire thing.

Hi Kelby,

Apologies for not replying sooner - I've been busy this week!

At the moment, there isn't an NVDA command to do what you want.  If you have any ideas on how to best implement something, I'm open to taking suggestions back to the team?

What you can do, currently, which is a Word command, is use the Go To function:

Press control+g to open the go to dialog
Press shift+tab once to move to the "go to what" list
Down arrow to "footnote" or "endnote" as appropriate.
TAB back to the "Enter footnote number" (the text will change for different elements)
Type 80
Press ENTER

To move to the next footnote now, press CONTROL+PAGE DOWN (or CONTROL+PAGE UP for the previous one).

Kind regards

Quentin.
