Endnotes at should be at end of story not document

I produce a magazine for the Lewis Carroll Society of North America (shameless plug). When I import endnotes from Word documents into InDesign they don't follow the story I've created, or flow on from the placed text, but fall in their own text box at the end of the document. How can I keep them where they belong?

Many thanks! I obviously have not explorted the menu options enough in all my years of using InDesign.

You're welcome!

The feature was only fairly recently added, in InDesign CC 2018.

Well, I experimented and now ALL the text flows in as Endnotes. I thought this would somehow apply only to the material designated as Endnotes in the Word Document. How should I be setting up the preferences? I included my InDesign style in hopes they would automatically appear in it, and this was the result; first characters are superscript where the references would be.

I solved that problem; for some reason the text was designated with the endnotes style. But they still flow into a separate text box (though at the end of the story). How does one make the endnotes FOLLOW the text to which they refer, flowing with the text? I tried copying and pasting at the end of the story, but then deleting the "endnote story" would delete the in text references.

In InDesign, under the Type menu, select Document End Note Options. Under Positioning Options you can choose Document or End of Story.
