Endnotes renumbering

Hi 

I have a 1500 page document with a lot of endnotes. They need to restart numbering after every chapter.  (100+ chapters) Making Sections etc does not work. Options in endnote options is number per article or continous, but i cannot find a way to make a new chapter an article. Is there a script that can renumber endnotes or that gives a possibility to starty renumbering  at a certain point?? Or any workaround to make it easier?

Thanks in advance..

 

Peter

Hi @designer1955 ,

endnotes will renumber either per document or per story.

So you could do several documents out of the very long one you have.

Every chapter one single document.

 

The other option is to have one story, one range of threaded text frames, per chapter.

    Hi @designer1955 ,

    a story is all the text that flows in one text frame ( also the overset text in case ) or in several text frames that are threaded. E.g. when text is flowing from page to page. In this case the endnote texts will be gathered in an extra endnotes text frame per story that cannot be threaded to one story.

     

    So for 100+ chapters, every chapter one story, you have to deal with 100+ endnote text frames.

    Not ideal.
