Question

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?

You're welcome!

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

Would it work for you to anchor the endnotes text frame into the flow of text?


Interesting idea. Would it still be fairly flexible? I think just having it there will be such an improvement, I'm wiling to work around it. I did report this issue as an improvement to made.

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