Infrequent Indesign CC user here…who is attempting to move a hundred or so footnotes in a book chapter into an endnotes section at rear of book. Years ago, I used Miguel Sousa’s script. It worked great, but I can’t find it now. So, I deployed Peter Kahrel’s free script (Thanks, Peter!) at https://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/foot_to_endnote.html. Endnotes are created just fine, but when I go to apply my endnotes style to the newly created endnote text, things go sideways: the endnote numbers will not accept my style, but text does…in fact the new endnote numbers disappear. Nor will the new numbers accept any highlighting. Thoughts?
If someone knows of an alternate footnote to endnotes script which I might try, I’d sure appreciate it.
Thank you.

Vic, Peter’s script is usually what we recommend. I haven’t run into the problem you’re having. I’ll have to check that out.
In the meantime, you can find Miguel’s script here: https://creativepro.com/downloads/Footnotes2Endnotes_v23.zip -
Vic,
> the endnote numbers will not accept my style, but text does
The endnotes are numbered using InDesign’s paragraph numbering, that’s why you can’t format the numbers manually. Use a character style in the paragraph style’s set-up. If you haven’t changed anything to the styles as they’re set up by the script, the numbers should appear. Don’t understand what that doesn’t happen. If you post your document somewhere I’ll investigate.
Peter
