In the original endnotes, the paragraph style should be Endnote Text, with
the Endnote Reference character style applied only to the reference marks.
If this is pasting into InDesign as a paragraph style called Endnote
Reference, then you'll need to make some changes in the document before
cutting. Select all the endnote reference marks in the notes only
(sequentially or simultaneously, by whatever method you can devise) and
remove the Endnote Reference style. Then (or as part of the same operation),
by the same method, apply the desired formatting as direct font formatting.
I say, "by whatever method you can devise" because I'm not confident about
how to do this in Macword. In Winword I would search for ^e (or use Browse
by Endnote) in the endnotes section only and replace the Endnote Reference
style with Default Paragraph Font and the desired font formatting.

hello, many thanks macropod. I find one (and only one€”is there another?)
way
to convert footnotes to endnotes (in Word:Mac 2008). That is: click into
one
of the footnotes, press cmd-a (selects all footnotes), contextual menu
(right-click): Convert to Endnote. That brings all footnotes to endnotes,
and
for some reason I can't figure out turn the arab footnote numbers into
roman
endnote numbers, both in the main text and in the endnotes themselves.
Plus,
it applies a character style to them, called Endnote Reference.
That's all pretty promising for a start. I don't need to clean up, all I
have to do is place the whole doc in InDesign and then cut the endnote
section out. (The endnote numbers arrive as numbers with no function
applied
to them, other than when placing a footnoted doc and keeping them as
footnotes.)
But one problem remains. In the .doc, endnote numbers both in the main
text
and in the endnotes have the same Character Stype applied to them (named
Endnote Reference, as mentioned above). When placed in InDesign, the
Character Style remains applied only to endnote numbers in the main text.
Those to the endnotes themselves remain without any CS applied to them.
Their
Paragraph Style is Endnote Reference+, Character Style is None.
This would require manual formatting of hundreds of endnote numbers, which
isn't really an option. Might there be a solution to this? Or am I
starting
the whole thing the wrong way?
