How to Locate and Remove Phantom Endnote Markers in InDesign

At the end of my document, I have a page with "Endnotes" on it. However, there are no endnotes, and shouldn't be.

 

When I want to delete it (really, when I want to delete its paragraph marker" I get a notice saying it will delete the corresponding references. 

 

Is there any way to find the location of the marker it's referencing?

 

My goal is to delete this page, as my endnotes are consolidated within the story.

 

thanks

Hi @turner111:

 

Just double check the Endnote story with Hidden Characters showing. If the only content in the endnote frame is the title, you can safely delete it.

You can search for an endnote marker (and footnote markers) In Find/Change, use ^U (also selectable from the drop-down list under Markers). That should find and let you delete any stray markers you missed in integrating your notes.

 

However, as Barb says, you can just delete the generated content and frame and it will have no further effect on your doc. Best if you can eliminate the source/cause,  but it's harmless otherwise.
