text note seperate from references

teamroche · July 9, 2012

I have searched but cannot find how to compile, using Chicago , how to compile a seperate list of notes that are my 'aside' comments from the list of references.

I need to do this as my comments are part of the word limit but references aren't.I am sure it is probably obvious .... but can anyone help please

I don't think I fully understand - and example would help - but from what I do understand I don't think this is possible.

Sorry I didn't explain myself very well!
In addition to citations, I need to include some additional comments that refer to the main text. Usually I add them as a footnote and the references are put at the end...but on this occasion I have been asked to put any such footnotes at the end of the document. I have also been told i must use Chicago style.

Whilst these notes will go at the end they are included in the citation list, not kept seperately.

I can of course create them manually- which sounds as if that is what will happen - but thought I would ask

To me this sounds like you'd be using regular Chicago style with endnotes - where both explanatory notes and references are in endnotes. There is no way to keep them apart for the wordcount, though, sorry.

I'm trying to include an explanatory note with my endnotes. The note contains no cited reference. Zotero won't let me do this? (Using Chicago 17 style, full note)

Just insert a footnote/Endnote using the native Word function in the Reference tab.
