I've also been frustrated by not getting real endnotes in word processing documents. But then I found out it's a bit more complex than I thought. When you export them as real (editable) endnotes, you then get an endnote listed for each and every citation. In other words, endnote # 1 no longer applies to 6 different items. The number of endnotes increases dramatically. In some cases, this may be fine, but it really ruins the ability to print working reports with endnotes of reasonable length. I think I read somewhere that there's a utility that will convert them back to "unique endnotes" (the ones were note #1 applies to 6 items), but I'm not sure if it's free or if it's only designed for specific software (genealogical or word processing). In any case, it makes a significant extra step on every report.
