Default endnote numbers suddenly hard to read

My Word 2000 program was doing my endnotes just fine until suddenly it did
them using really faint numbers in the note pane that I cannot really read,
though the numbers in the text itself are OK. Meanwhile, the numbers of
previous endnotes in the same note pane of the same document are very
legible, as in the text itself. How can I get all the endnote numbers in the
note pane back to normal, please?

Default endnote numbers suddenly hard to read

After struggling with this problem, I understand a little better what is
wrong now, namely that the font of the superscripts in the new endnote
numbers (in the note pane, not in the text) is too light, compared with the
previous endnotes, which work fine in a related document, but even when I try
to match up all the settings in the formatting with those in that related
document, the new endnote numbers in this document come out too light to be
legible. If I set the font on bold, it makes the endnote numbers in the text
itself bold too... What gives? Please help.

Why not simply use the same font throughout?

Actually, that's what I would like. All my chapter drafts use the legible
font, except for this sudden switch to so-faint-as-to-be-illegible in one
chapter I'm revising. I would like all the endnote numbers in my note panes
to use the same legible font.

The font of your endnote references is controlled by a Character Style
called Endnote Reference. (Well, in 2003 it is.) If you can get the
style name to appear in the Format & Styles panel, then you can right-
click Modify it (in 2003, anyway). At the bottom of that panel is a
drop-down that says More, and you can poke around in Custom or Show
All Styles or Show Styles in Use in order to get it to appear in the
list.

Default endnote numbers suddenly hard to read

Thanks, but I've tried that already and can't seem to find a way to change it
to make the new notes consistent with the style already in place throughout
my book, even when I get all the characteristics (Times New Roman, regular,
font 10) the same as my other chapters, the faint font remains on the new
notes. I'm baffled.

Amazingly, I just solved it, and in an improbably way. Here's how: I changed
the font size from ten to eleven, and the endnote numbers suddenly became
legible!

Default endnote numbers suddenly hard to read

My next question was going to be, are the Endnote Reference style
parameters in the two files _absolutely identical_? Are the Normal
styles (which the Endnote style is probably based on) _absolutely
identical_? I don't know if there's an Organizer back in 2000, but if
there is, you can simply copy a style from one document to another and
it will ask whether to replace the existing style with the new one.

Default endnote numbers suddenly hard to read

The Endnote Reference style is defined as Default Paragraph Font +
Superscript. This means that in the body of the document, the endnote
references use the font setting at the insertion point, superscripted; in
the endnotes, they use the Endnote Text style, superscripted. It shouldn't
be necessary to change the font size of Endnote Text; instead just increase
the Zoom ratio.
