What's the best way to prepare endnotes for publication?

[Michele A Berdy]

Prof Israeli, I'm probably not the best person to answer this, but as I
understand it, the endnotes are "connected" to a place in the text, not a
specific page. You can add or subtract from the text, and the place in the
text that the endnote is attached to might move from page 12 to page 24 --
and the endnote, clever thing, knows that and changes to read "p 12" or "p
24." And when the whole text gets converted from Word to whatever program it
is printed in, the endnotes - very clever things! - will cite the new page
numbers.

Am I missing something or are the people who replied missing something?
Andrea said that these are notes to a novel. To my knowledge only very
rarely are translations marked with footnotes in the text, usually in case
of foreign words that are translated at the bottom of the page. But
commentary and Notes are not marked. I am holding in my hands "Catherine the
Great" by Robert Massie, it has lots of notes in the back but none marked in
the text. 

 

So if this is a case of Andrea's novel, I don't see how it can be done with
MS files etc. prior to book lay out and new pagination. That is the text of
the notes can be prepared, but how would they have the right page numbers?

Thanks everyone! Turns out there's a simple solution, I somehow hadn't
noticed that Word has an endnotes function. I appreciate all the help!

Best,
