      A client sent me a Word doc with manual endnotes. Since it so easy to make dynamic endnotes or footnotes in Word I can’t understand why he would want to create them manually. But that’s not the real question. He wants, in addition to a print layout, an ePub, and he’s going to want his endnotes to pop up when he taps on an endnote in the text. What is the procedure for linking the superscripts in the text with the list of endnotes at the end of the book so that they are linked?

      I have never created an epub before, so I might be wrong. But I believe you achieve through adding a cross-reference in the text that links to the endnote.

      I found an explanation on the net on how to set up cross-references for endnotes (https://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/03/endnotes_in_indesign_cs4.html). It’s a little tricky as the author had the notes grouped according to chapter at the end of the book. When I exported to ePub, tapping on a note reference took me to the page where the note appears. There was a little back link, which helps a lot. I had specified in the export that I wanted popups for the notes, but as I understand it, this only works if you start out with actual footnotes in the ID doc.
