How to convert footnotes to bibliography in Word 2016
The procedure is to convert footnotes to bibliography in Word 2016. It is one-time procedure only and usually applies for all the poor souls who are tasked with conversion of the Google Doc files into Word and then PDF files.
The consequences of having the below procedure are: always write your Google Doc documents using footnotes – don’t lose time with any manual numbering of references, etc. However, when writing the footnotes, think about the fact they will become actual references later on – add text as you are required for your explicit referencing style.
Let us start:
a) convert all footnotes to endnotes
Right click on a footnote and say “convert” – then you can convert from footnotes to endnotes and vice-versa. Be sure to check if you are doing this for the whole document.
b) add brackets to your endnotes
Go to Advanced Find and Replace dialog (see how it looks like at the end of this mini tutorial) and for Find search for ^e replacing it with [^&] . There are two possible problems here – CHECK if all references and endnotes at the end of the document indeed acquired brackets. If they didn’t, undo the replacements and go to the first endnote reference in the text. Then try again. The second problem is that you don’t want to repeat this multiple times, as you will end up with several layers of brackets, e.g. [[[]]].
c) change superscript of your endnotes and endnote references to ordinary text
Again go to Advanced Find and Replace and for Find search for [^e] (remember, we just added brackets). For Replacement give simple ^& . However, then you select below under Find, where you can select special Font considerations for your replacement. There, unselect the super and subscript. After that, you should see the following image for your Advanced Find and Replace dialog. If it looks like this, hit Replace all.
d) remove that endnote separator line
The visual guide is taken from this link: https://uknowit.uwgb.edu/page.php?id=50456
If the link ever gets removed, simply follow these instructions (with some trial and error)
1) switch to draft view
2) go for References tab
3) go for Show notes
4) select “Endnote separator” and delete it
5) switch back to print view
