If you want to make any changes to the text in an endnote, make sure any changes are contained within its colored brackets.

Each endnote is enclosed in colored brackets.

Note the following about the endnotes text and text frame: Here’s what your InDesign endnotes text frame will look like: You’ll be able to position it appropriately in your book later on.

Before flowing the rest of your manuscript into your pages, drag your endnotes text frame onto the pasteboard for now. If your document has one page to start with, InDesign will place the endnotes text frame on a new page 2 if your document starts with three pages (following our example on page 34, BDMS), then InDesign will place the endnotes text frame on a new page 4. InDesign will place a new, separate text frame containing your endnotes on a new page following any existing pages. When you click OK and then place your text on the first page of your InDesign document, you’ll see the first page of your manuscript flow onto that page.

When you place your document in InDesign, make sure you first check Show Import Options in the Place dialog box (see right), and then check Endnotes in your Import Options dialog box as shown below (see pages 44-45, Book Design Made Simple). Now we have the same flexibility with endnotes! Importing endnotes into InDesign Until now, footnotes and endnotes could be imported from Word to InDesign, but only footnotes continued to be live and linked, allowing us to insert and delete them without messing up the numbering system.

Adobe’s 2018 update for InDesign includes a great new feature for book designers- live InDesign endnotes.
