The type of numbering format used for endnotes in Microsoft Word 2007 can be quickly changed. Use the Normal.dot template to change the type of numbering used for endnotes, and then save the template with the changes so it is used as the default in the future.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Microsoft Word 2007
  1. Step 1

    Start Microsoft Word 2007 and open the Normal.dot template from the Templates folder inside the Microsoft Office folder on your computer.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the "References" tab from the top of the Word 2007 screen to display the References ribbon.

  3. Step 3

    Locate the "Footnotes" section and click the small arrow icon in the lower right corner to open the Footnote and Endnote dialog box.

  4. Step 4

    Select the "Endnotes" radio button in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box.

  5. Step 5

    Display the "Number format" drop-down list, and then choose the type of numbering format you want to use as the default setting each time you create an endnote in Word.

  6. Step 6

    Click the "Apply" button to apply the changes and close the Footnote and Endnote dialog box.

  7. Step 7
