I typset a long book and the author wanted the footnotes to be formated one after the other on a line. So they would read like this:
[1] Source Book, Chapter X [2] Source A, Chapter Z [3] Source B, Chapter Y etc. (one after the other as opposed to each on their own line.
So I googled quite a bit and came up with this tedious solution:
Convert footnotes to endnotes, thread them page by page and make page breaks after the last one on the page.
The client wanted the numbering to restart each chapter, so in order for it to renumber I broke the text frame before each chapter and had the endnotes restart each new story.
Now in the last round of proofreading I see that there was one story I did not break. So it starts with footntoe 5 instead of 1.
When I tried breaking it, alllll the footnotes (endnotes in disguise) messged up. The number reference in the text is correct, but what it looks like happened is that it reflowed the notes with a return after each footnote. I’m not even certain that is the case, but that is what it seems like.
I thought if I could convert the endnotes into static text, I could just manually fix this chapter without having to go back and fix all the notes in the document.
Is there a way to do that?
Or a different work-around you can think of?
