ALways, footnotes withing text files came in at the end of each 'import' as part of the text. I have been using InDesign for years now, and Quark before that, since 1989. It is fine for an editor using notes in Word etc, for word processing, but for typesetting and typography for the kind of work i do in the illustrated books, the text is edited and pretty much finished when it gets to me - so renumbering is not an issue.

The reference in the text was always there - it simply did not change when you changed the notes. And the note reference stays in the text, regardless of whether I have cut the notes or not. The notes all restart at 1 for each chapter. I cut the notes form the end of each chapter (where they have been put by default in all In Design docs since the very start!!!!!), and paste them into either another file, or the end of the document. This is the current plan I am working on, and have done so for 25+ years, over many platforms!!! I know what I am doing, trust me! Turning off the feature would mean that I can import/place multiple text files which may or may not have notes, together in one continuous 'galley'. This means I often have, for example, pp1-99 (prelims and essays), pp100-680 (catalogue section of maybe 10 chapters), then the endmatter pp 681-720. when editors need ot work on different sections from the designer (me). But I split it when we get close to the end of the project.

No I tend to make one continuous file, so I can control the typography better. Is there a way to fix this so I can restart the numbers for each sidebar? Can this be done with style sheets? However, Indesign converts it to #6, because it's the endnote that falls after #5 in the general chapter.

At the end of the first sentence in the sidebar, there is an #1 endnote that refers to the sidebar endnotes. Then, I have a sidebar that gets inserted after that. Example: I have 10 paragraphs of chapter text, with endnotes #1-5 in it. Now, it's one big run-on list of end notes. In the previous version, before Indesign could recognize endnotes, it would allow me to have multiple sets of endnotes that don't interact. multiple side bars with their own set of endnotes that need to be kept exclusive from the general chapter endnotes. Which leads me to my next problem:Įach chapter I'm working on has multiple sets of endnotes, i.e. Is there any way to disconnect the superscripts in the text from the endnotes? If I must, I can leave the endnotes in a text frame off the page if InDesign MUST have a reference. Now, in cc 2018 if I delete the endnotes out of the "Chapter X" document, the reference superscripts throughout the text get deleted as well. In previous versions of InDesign, I would import the Word document, delete the endnotes out of the "Chapter x" document, and pop them back into the "Endnotes chapter" without affecting the superscripts referencing the endnotes throughout the text. The last chapter will be just for all the book's endnotes. I'm keeping each chapter as its own document that I will then collect together as a larger Book at the end. This book will be printed (won't be an eBook/iBook). Here's my first dilemma: I am building a book with several hundred pages. But instead, it is making me want to pull my hair out. I recently upgraded to the new Indesign CC 2018 with the new endnotes feature, which I thought would be helpful.
