Endnotes

[AnnaB82B]

When I transfer a Word doc into InDesign the endnotes are lost. The reference numbers in the text also disappear. How can I keep all those elements together?

[Mike Witherell]

Do you turn on "Show Import Options" while File > Placing the word docx. It might be turned off inside that seldom-seen dialog box.
