I recently discovered endnotes in Pages and am getting carried away with them in the document :geek::rofl i am working on.

Just discovered something very handy. When i am reviewing a document and i come to an endnote, i double click on the endnote and the document jumps down so i can see the endnote. Saves a ton of scrolling time.
Endnotes BTW put the note at the end of the document.

Pages/Format (toolbar)/Footnotes (Rt. side, top of sidebar)/Type -

Three choices ;

1 Footnotes put the notes at the foot of each page;
2 Document end notes, put the notes at the end of the document
3. Section end notes, put the notes at the end of the section.

Then you can change the style of the footnote and format and numbering
Hope it helps!

Conversely after you finish looking at the end note, you click on the end or foot note number or letter etc and it goes back up to the document.

Footnotes and endnotes can also be linked, so you place a single footnote/endnote on the first instance for the reference, then when the same reference is required again, you can link to the first instance, which means you don't have the same reference multiple times, more useful for endnotes where they are all in one place.

Yes, you cross-reference them via the menu, open cross-reference, and use the drop-down.:

I remember in ClarisWorks you could do this via a nifty little facility called Publish and Subscribe, where you could link bits of your document to use multiple times. Sadly Apple in their wisdom removed this when the final version became known as AppleWorks :(.

Thanks Jimmy for the trouble.
I don't see a 'cross-reference' drop down. I am running ver13-1 of Pages...

However when i follow the instructions, i do see how I can create a bookmark which does look useful for jumping to a particular spot in the document. Thanks !
