I need to export an Indesign doc back to Word. I can't seem to export with the endnotes intact. Is it possible?

FWIW: Em Software, the makers of Wordsflow currently working at a version that will support endnotes with InDesign CC 2018. See here:

thanks all, this is taking me too long to figure out.... I am sending my doc off to India to have it relinked.

I was SO happy to see the new endnote feature! But it's not working very well, bunches of my notes where dropped and now this!

No. At least if you have endnotes in tables you have a big problem, that is not and cannot be tackled by scripts that work with the conversion from endnotes to footnotes. And if you have a mix of footnotes and endnotes there is hardly a chance…

Even WordsFlow will not support endnotes for now:

Release: WordsFlow 2.10.1 for InDesign CS5–CC2018 » Em Software

Peter Kahrel's script is for footnote to endnote, not endnote to footnote, so that idea won't work.

anything else?

Endnotes cannot be round-tripped.

is there any workaround? I don't know what to do? I need that text, with the endnotes...

It's n odd omission...

Convert endnotes to footnotes, export to RTF, convert footnotes to endnotes in Word.

I know – there is no "convert endnotes to footnotes" command either, but I think this has been asked before and there should be a script somewhere in this forum.
