When working on a research paper I would like to be able to use a single
reference in the end notes to point to multiple points in the paper. Word
doesn't appear to allow me to re-cite previously used endnotes, it wants me
to move on with the next in line. Many changes are being made to this paper
so it is important that all the endnote superscripts change if one is
changed. (Making a "fake" superscript 1 will not be a sufficient solution).

For instance:

Owls are large birds (superscript 1). They are abundant in Canada
(superscript 2). Owls live in trees (superscript 1).

--------------
1 Book of Owls
2 Avian History

Thanks for your help.

You can use a cross-reference to the endnote (Insert | Reference |
Cross-reference to Endnote: Endnote number, formatted. But in this
situation, would it make more sense to use numbered references (they don't
have to be in alphabetical order)? See
