--- Comment #13 from Tex2002ans <[email protected]> ---
I just ran across this issue yesterday.

I had a book that needed both:

1. Endnotes "near the end".
2. Endnotes numbered per chapter.

- - -

So, for 1, the book's layout would go like:

- Chapter 99
   - (Last chapter of book)
- Endnotes
   - INSERT ALL NOTES HERE!
- Index
- About the Publisher + other backmatter.

Like original reporter said, not just:

- End of chapter
- End of document

but a 3rd method of being able to place all endnotes "near the end"!

- - -

(Thanks to Comment #1 + #2 for some helpful articles too. That's how I was able
to find some info/workarounds and find this issue too! See more info below.)

Yes, being able to insert an "Endnotes" section—similar to TOCs or "List of
Figures"—would be fantastic!

Yeah, I fear it probably won't roundtrip well...

Currently, Microsoft Word requires some insane amount of hackish/manual steps
to:

- "suppress endnotes" in each chapter/section.
- Leave the endnotes NOT "suppressed" in 1 section.
   - All the endnotes will appear here.

This was the solution we ultimately got working (in Word 2021) after ~2+ hours
of hairpulling:

- https://superuser.com/questions/1181349/moving-endnotes-section-in-ms-word
- https://wordmvp.com/FAQs/Formatting/FootnoteFAQ.htm#TextAfterNotes

A mix of the linked ancient Word article + aVeRTRAC's superuser response.

I suspect the created DOCX is EXTREMELY fragile. (I haven't even tried to open
it inside of LO yet.)
