Question

End notes not importing in separate text box

I've spent hours troubleshooting why suddenly the end notes are importing into the same text box and therefore not linked. I've converted my Word doc to .doc, tried selecting static. None of these "work-arounds" are solving the issue. Is this yet another new another Adobe bug? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @chorner11,

 

Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear about the trouble with importing endnotes. To assist you better, could you please share the following details:

1. Your operating system and its version.

2. The version of InDesign you are using.

3. Since when has this issue been happening?

4. Have there been any recent changes to your system, such as installing new software or updates, that might be related to this issue?

 

To investigate further, could you share the affected file with us for testing? If the file is confidential, you can send it via DM through the community. Additionally, a screen recording demonstrating the issue would help us understand the behavior more clearly.

 

Looking forward to your response!

 

Best,
Abhishek Rao

Hi, Abhishek,

 

Windows will not import End Notes in separate text box so they are hyperlinked. In other words, Indesign says there are no end notes. I've attached a sample portion of entire book manscript. I got the same problem when I tried to import just the first chapter in the sample I'm sending.

 

Windows 10 Home, Adobe 20.01.64, happened starting today. Usual Windows updates.

 

Thank you!

 

Christine

Are you placing the Word file using the import options menu, and making sure the right endnote/footnote options are set?
