mogsie Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I have a table with an endnote inside it. The table is at the start of a chapter, so the endnote should be note 2. However, it is numbered 21 and the note text comes after all the other endnotes at the end of the chapter. Just a few lines down after the table, there is a note 2. If I make it a footnote, the footnote text comes immediately after the table instead of at the bottom of the page. Also the footnote within the table is numbered after all the other footnotes in the document. So if I add another footnote on the next page, the footnote number in the table is incremented to come last. I have resolved the issue by turning the table into tabbed text, but I am curious to know if this is intended or a bug. Endnotes work very well in all other circumstances.

MikeTO Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hi, I don't think this is a bug but just an issue with the layer stack order and there are two reasons it could happen, but one you can't do anything about. Publisher numbers notes from the bottom of the layer stack to the top, but it also numbers all the notes in a story before moving to the next layer. If the table is unpinned and above the text frame in the layer stack, then it will be numbered after every note in the frame's story. In this case, simply move the table to the bottom of the layer stack and it will be numbered before all the notes in the text frame. This may not be convenient if the table is at the bottom of the page and there are notes at the top of the page, but you can work around that. However, if the table is pinned, its notes will be numbered after all notes in the story. There is nothing you can do about this, Publisher doesn't notes in pinned objects until the end of the story. This has been reported many times so for now the only workaround is a hack. I'd insert the note reference before or after the table and hide it and then add in the table I'd add a cross-reference to the note body's note number, showing only note number. This works fairly well.
