How to run endnotes on to the next page

[mogsie]

If I don't have enough pages in my document, I can autoflow text so that it makes enough pages. But it doesn't make enough pages to accommodate all the endnotes, which are hanging off the bottom of the page when I set the notes to come at the end of the Story..

What I need to do now is to autoflow the endnotes, or at least flow them on to the next page. But the endnotes are all in separate text boxes, and I just can't get at the wee arrow thing that will allow me to flow them on to the next page. In other words, I can't highlight the original full page text box because when I click I keep highlighting an individual endnote.

Is there some keystroke or something for this situation?

I think you've found a previously-unreported design flaw. If endnotes Positioning is set to End of Story and the last frame in the story has no main text and just has endnotes, you can't autoflow to a new frame.

Here's a workaround. Create page(s) and new text frames for the additional endnotes. Using the Layers panel, select the last text frame in the story with the overflowing endnotes - you can find it easily in the Layers panel by clicking in any of the endnotes and then scrolling up to select the parent text frame layer. Once you have the frame selected, the red Text Flow Out icon for the frame will appear. You still can't  you can Shift + click the icon to Autoflow as you normally would, it won't work. But you can click it and then click the next text frame you just created to link them together.

Good luck!

Actually I have found another workaround. 

If I place the file with the standard "shared document frame" for endnotes, I get the main text starting on and overflowing the first page and the endnotes starting on and overflowing the second page. If I now autoflow the main text I end up with the problem I described. 

But, if before autoflowing anything, I go to the Notes panel and set it to End of Story. Then when I autoflow the text, the endnotes autoflow themselves as well.

Whatever is happening here should be happening when I autoflow the text first and then set the Notes to End of Story.

Hi @mogsie,

Are you placing a Word document when this issue with autoflowing the End notes as this was a issue that was fixed in a previous release.
