Question with the hopes of saving me much work

Is there a way to make endnotes footnotes automatically? I need to convert Chicago style into MLA.

Found it, thanks! I never use the help feature, which is ridiculous. That's what it's for.

I can't believe you have to convert *to* MLA. For footnote to endnote-- I'll tell you when i get to work. More soon

ok, if you right click by the number of the footnote at the bottom of the page you should see a convert all footnotes to endnotes option.

otherwise, if you ask word to Insert a footnote, there's a convert option under "Location" (top section) of pop-up.

as for converting the style, jay says there is no way to automate.

I do have to convert to MLA. It was Chicago because that's what MoMo wanted, but now it will be a writing sample and I think MLA is better for that. Thank you for taking on my problem. I didn't give you enough info, which is that I have a mac, so no right clicks. Maybe I'll keep the endnotes, actually. Do you know what the new edition of MLA handbook says about footnotes vs. endnotes?

to right click on a mac, hold down control and then click.

i did not go with MLA, so i am not sure about the preference. good luck!!
