I inadvertently set the margins wrong when I set the pages up. I set them at 0.5 in. and they should be 0.75. The top and bottom margins I set at 1.0 in. for both I reset the top margin at 0.75 and left the bottom at 1.0. The book is part of a series so the page size must remain the same (.9.5 x 11.5). I set up an alternate layout with the correct settings. It's necessary for the pages to start and end up with the same words in the correct layout. There are many endnotes in the book.

Not sure if that will fix the endnote issue but if you're matching a prior layout, it should.

Make the change on the parent page. In the Pages panel the page you are editing probably has a letter on its thumbnail and that letter is probably A. Double-click on A-Parent then change the margins. Any page based on that parent page will change as well.
