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

So far the Russian translations of the Flashman stories have maintained all
the endnotes in the source texts translations, However, the translators
have added an extra set of footnotes to the Russian versions to explain
items which the British reader might take for granted.
Флэшмен на острие удара/Flashman at the Charge is actually mostly set in
Russia, and GMF's occasional Russian turns of phrase are left as is, and
footnoted (sometimes with an explanation of errors), which must have been
difficult to format properly.
The Indian Mutiny one, where Count Ignatieff also makes an appearance,
hasn't come out yet ::
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,
