Default How do I keep endnotes from throwing page numbers off

Thank you...there's something more going on that I can't figure out, though.
Each essay has an endnote section, and that is followed by works cited. I
read (I think on this forum) that I should put my section break at the end of
the essay (i.e., before the endnotes) in order for the endnotes to follow the
text, and then allow the works cited to follow the endnotes. I think that
some of the contributors to the collection have embedded something tricky in
their essays, because the above named method works just fine for most of the
essays, but some are getting thrown way off. I'm just about at my wits end
with this.

You've got the section breaks worked out and presumably the "Different odd
and even" running heads to allow for "outside" page number placement.
Provided you don't have any section breaks within a given essay, the
footnote numbering should also work out okay. By default, your page
numbering should be continuous (should not restart in each section), but if
you restarted at 1 after some initial front matter, then every new section
you create is going to start at 1 as well. You'll have to go to Format Page
Number in each section (use the button on the Header and Footer toolbar) and
change "Start at" to "Continue from previous section."

news
I am editing a collection of essays, with endnotes. The endnotes must
begin
again with one for each essay, but the page numbering for the text should
be
continuous. I can't get the page numbers to come out right. Another
thing
that seems to be a problem is that I need to keep even number flush left,
and
odd numbers flush right. This document also has running heads in each
chapter (that are different). I have figured out how to properly use
section
breaks, but the pagination is not working at all. There are several
questions buried in there, and I would greatly appreciate help with any
one
of them!

Thanks,
