Default Endnotes de-linked

I don't know whether or not you found an answer to this, however today I had
a similar problem. I wanted to save more than 1000 endnotes to a separate
file as a glossary of terms.

This resulted in the same superscript "1" in the front of every entry (as
you had). I didn't fancy deleting these one-by-one.

I copied the list into an excel spreadsheet. The superscript changed
automatically to "[1]". All I had to do then was a 'replace'. Presto ... all
gone!

Then I just pasted my temporary excel content back into a word document.

I have created a book document with about 500 endnotes. Each endnote is a
quotation from my text followed by the source of the quotation. For example

"I love Paris": Quoted in Patrick Smith, "Paris" (Cambridge: Harvard
University Press, 2002), p. 424.

When my book is published, there will be no endnote numbers in the text.

Instead I have deleted the list of endnotes from the main text and saved
them in a separate file. When the book is published, the page number of the
endnote's quotation will precede each endnote. For example

p.45 "I love Paris": Quoted in Patrick Smith, "Paris" (Cambridge:
Harvard University Press, 2002), p. 424.

My problem is that when I deleted the endnotes from the main text and saved
them in a separate file, each endnote acquired a superscript 1 before it,
which I cannot get rid of, except by manually deleting each of these
superscript 1's.

I want to replace each superscript 1 with 000. Later I will enter the
printed book's page number.

Is there some way to do this without replacing each one manually?

Thank you
Phyllis
