Endnote styling

[psheld]

So after some trial and error, I have nearly finished my endnotes. The screenshots below show what they look like in Publisher, and how that looks when exported as PDF.

Now I just need to left-align all the text with the note numbering standing out to the left of the text for ease of visual reference. I know how to do such things with Bullets and Numbering, but of course this isn't Bullets and Numbering! I can't see any clue in the help docs either. All I can see is how to add a space or two, or potentially a tab, after the numbering. Better than nothing, but not what I'm looking for.

Any ideas most welcome. Thanks in advance.

In the note definiton (Notes panel > ‘In note body’ > ‘Number text:’) I pasted an ‘indent to here’ after the space folowing the note number.

Thanks @RM f/g, although I don't understand your reference to what exactly it is you pasted.

It's in this box right?... (I've shown the dropdown options)

[RM f/g]

It's not in the dropdown list. You'll have to copy it from text elsewhere. ‘Indent to here’ is command + \ on mac or menu Text > Insert > Spaces and tabs > Indent to here.

In the screenshots you can see what it looks like in the Number text box and in the note itself.

Hope this helps.

Cool. There's so much to learn! I have no idea about any of the options in Text > Insert > Spaces and tabs.

But I found Show Special Characters to see, well, er, the special characters, and copied the character representing Indent to here and pasted it into the Notes panel box so it looks just like your example here, and now I have (see screenshot). So nearly, but not.

I played with Left indent, but that just indents everything on the line, rather than everything to the right of the Notes number. How come your numbers are to the left of neat left-aligned text, and mine is still messy?!

Ah I see. The Indent to here is working for the lines with the Notes numbers. But when the Note includes a para break (as here before each of the URLs) the Ident to here has no effect.

[RM f/g]

Replace the paragraph break with a line break (shift + return). That should do it.

You beauty! Thanks @RM f/g.
