endnote formatting not working

[M Black]

If I paste a file from Word containing endnotes, I can create my own paragraph style for the endnote text which makes the numbers stay out to the left as a hanging indent. This is because there is a tab between the number and the note. 

If I now add a new note, Affinity just puts some sort of a space between the number and the note text. What is this space? It doesn't seem to be a space or a non-breaking space. I can't "find" it. If I could, I could replace it with a tab.

In any case, it's impossible to create a hanging indent and make the notes look neat. See how note 33 in the screenshot is out of line.

The second screenshot shows endnotes inserted in Publisher. There doesn't seem to be a way to have a proper hanging indent. 

Also, I pasted this file from Word into Publisher. When I Placed it, all the endnotes were superscript because they had the Endnote reference character style applied to all the text in addition to the Body paragraph style. Pasting the file is a fix for this, but wouldn't be practical for a long book.

Hello @M Black,

It is possible to do that.

You just need to explore the Notes panel a bit more.

When you open the Notes panel, switch to Endnotes tab, go to the Format section and instead of the hash (#) option select the tab in Node Body  by clicking on the submenu. That should insert tabs instead of the dot (space) that you have now. You can then reformat your endnotes to have the hanging indent.

Because you pasted you text from the Word document you may find that you will have 2 tabs instead of one just after the number. So you need to clean that up as well.

Thank you. I missed that. It works well.

I will need to explore everything a bit more.
