Endnotes.Add Method

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Returns an Endnote object that represents an endnote added to a range.

Syntax

expression.Add(Range, Reference, Text)

expression   Required. A variable that represents an Endnotes collection.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Range Required Range object The range marked for the endnote or footnote. This can be a collapsed range.
Reference Optional Variant The text for the custom reference mark. If this argument is omitted, Microsoft Word inserts an automatically-numbered reference mark.
Text Optional Variant The text of the endnote or footnote.

Remarks

To specify a symbol for the Reference argument, use the syntax {FontName CharNum}. FontName is the name of the font that contains the symbol. Names of decorative fonts appear in the Font box in the Symbol dialog box (Insert menu). CharNum is the sum of 31 and the number corresponding to the position of the symbol you want to insert, counting from left to right in the table of symbols. For example, to specify an omega symbol at position 56 in the table of symbols in the Symbol font, the argument would be "{Symbol 87}".

Example

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(3).Range
ActiveDocument.Endnotes.Add Range:=myRange, _
    Text:= "Ibid., 314."
