Footnotes. Sigh.

They are a %^^&* in ebooks, so they have to go to the body of the work.

But they won't. Or rather, they will but they won't. I moved them to the end. I deleted them from the footnote section of the page as instructed.

Paragraph symbol is still there.

Bets on whether this will mess up the formatting?

I hope my mentor has a suggestion.

Argh.
You have my profound sympathy (though I hate endnotes with a passion).

Yes, I prefer footnotes, too, but I note 4M has endnotes.

Have you done ebook on it? If not, you will be SO happy to have endnotes! Trust me on this.

The publisher did those two, thankfully!

What are you using for the conversion? From what, to what?

This person never used standard Styles for his ancient Word doc. No rhyme or reason to underlining, etc. I am not editing, but trying to make the eformat end up not ugly and work for Kindle.

I am going in, adding styles, deleting crap, putting in smart quotes, putting in spacers so things won't get squashed in conversion, etc. Not even to the conversion software yet.
