If your source Word document contains endnotes and you’d like to import those as dynamic footnotes in InDesign, the easiest things to do - in my opinion - is convert the endnotes into footnotes in the source Word document, prior to its placement into InDesign. We now get to the first part of the question.

Story: a series of threaded text frames in InDesign. A Paragraph Style called Endnote text is applied to the endnote text at the end of the story. I’d opt to import Styles and Formatting from Text and Tables on the fly from Word, as all endnote references - including those inserted in tables- will have the Endnote reference Character style applied to it. Rorohiko has developed a nice tool for InDesign that can help you thread text frames for this purpose: EndnotesĮndnotes import as static endnotes. In other words for continuous footnote numbering within a chapter (Section), you’d need to ensure all text frames within the chapter are threaded. Each individual story will always cause a footnote numbering reset. Note: Although the document footnote options for an InDesign document can reset footnote numbering based on Page, Spread or Section. If you opt to import Styles and Formatting from Text and Tables on the fly from Word, you’ll end-up with two styles you can use immediately: a Paragraph Style called Footnote text and a Character style called Footnote reference.Īssign these two styles in InDesign’s Document Footnote Options ( Type > Document Footnote Options). Regardless of how you import the styles and formatting from Word, it is a good idea to set-up a character style for the footnote reference text and a paragraph style for the footnote text. Their footnote reference remains visible in the InDesign file as a static number, but the footnote text vanishes. The footnotes will import as dynamic footnotes, with the exception of footnotes that were included in tables in Word and footnotes that were included inside footnote text. Select the Footnotes and Endnotes check boxes.When we display the Import Options during Word document import ( File > Place) we can import both footnotes and endnotes:
What does this mean for publishers who are placing manuscript text set in Microsoft Word containing footnotes or endnotes into InDesign? InDesign, however lacks support for dynamic endnotes. This means that the application retains a connection between the footnote reference (the in-text reference) and the footnote text. InDesign has support for dynamic footnotes. linked) footnotes and b) can change static endnotes to dynamic endnotes”. “Is there an InDesign add-on that you know of that a) can take static endnotes and transform them to dynamic (i.e.
