Default Is there any way to hide endnotes and footnotes?

I am trying to document my support within a word file by using endnotes/
footnotes. However, I do not really want the endnotes/footnotes printed in
the final document. Is there any way to just hide them rather than deleting
them?

Thumbs up Answer: Is there any way to hide endnotes and footnotes?

Yes, there is a way to hide endnotes and footnotes in Microsoft Word. Here are the steps:
  1. Open your Word document and go to the "References" tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click on the "Show Notes" button in the "Footnotes" section.
  3. This will open the "Footnote and Endnote" window. Select the "View" tab.
  4. Under the "View" tab, uncheck the box next to "All Footnotes" and "All Endnotes".
  5. Click "OK" to close the window.

Now, your endnotes and footnotes will be hidden in the document, but they will still be there if you need to reference them later. If you want to show them again, simply follow the same steps and check the boxes next to "All Footnotes" and "All Endnotes".

What I would do, is format the style so that the font is marked for
Hidden. That way when you work with the Show/Hide turned on, you will
be able to see them, yet they won't print unless you change your print
options to include hidden text.

Can I format the style globally or would have to choose each footnote/endnote
number and text and format them separately? If I can do it globally, that
would be a good "fix"

You can do it globally. Select a footnote or endnote. The style list
will update to display footnote text or endnote text. Select the
Modify option. Inside the Modify dialog box, you can select the
Format button. At that point, select Font. And toggle the Hidden
text feature.

When you select a style in the Styles window and click the arrow beside it,
Modify is one of the options. It still works pretty much as described at
