Endnotes Disappeared

Question

Somehow, most of my endnotes have mysteriously disappeared. I don't know if this issue is somehow related to my previous post about struggling to delete my title page. The only thing I've done was added this grep style: \<(\s?(\S+)){2}$but I don't see how that has anything to do with it.

Yes, I did import them from Word, in fact. The thought would be horrific!!!! I literally spent 16 hours yesterday alone and was at the finish line. But, thankfully after reading your message, I found a solution. I converted the endnotes to footnotes, then back to endnotes again, and they all reappeared!

I am guessing you've imported this document from Word.

Word end notes are fragile, and import into a separate text frame. It's very easy to delete that frame and all of its contents.

Unless you have versions of the ID file you can revert to, the only simple way to recover them is to start with a fresh, new placement of the original Word file.

But before that, check to make sure the Endnote frame and flow isn't simply "lost" off the end of your document pages. Add three or four pages to the document and see if they reappear.
