Word Style at the End of a Document

Sometimes when an Endnote reference is inserted into a document, the reference list at the end picks up an odd underlying Word style, and you land up with something that looks like this.

This can be fixed in a fairly straightforward manner.

Firstly, unformat the Endnote references, using the tools on the Endnote tab.


This removes the immediate, visible problem.

The underlying style at the end of the document needs to be changed from, in this case Heading 1 to Normal. This is done on the Home tab of Word 2010.



Once this is done, the bibliography can be reconstructed from the Endnote tab.

The text may still not look right, but this can be changed using the usual Word tools to change the font and the text size, on the home tab.

The text can be made to look like the rest of the document.

The best way to avoid this is, of course, to check that the underlying Word style at the end of the document is the normal one.
