Hello!
I’ve written a book, hooray! It has 900 endnotes. Now I’m sending it to my editor and tearing my hair out because I cannot format them correctly.
What I want is to compile my manuscript to Word so that the endnotes are dynamically linked, to allow further editing in Word. This works for me in other documents in Scrivener. But when I compile my manuscript, the endnotes are static numbers.
For example, here’s the text in Scrivener (the endnotes appear as they should both in Scrivener and in Word).
As of 2018, humans have warmed the world 1.1°C above[1] its preindustrial baseline. Warming is accelerating shockingly fast. When I show my students Ed Hawkin’s data visualizations of temperatures since 1850, where the unprecedented warming of the last few decades stands out as a stark flip from blue to red in warming stripes[2], and as increasingly chaotic animated climate spirals[3] exploding past their historical boundaries, there are audible gasps.

When I export it to Word, it looks fine. But if I edit to move text around, the numbers of the endnotes do not change. This is a problem because it means I can’t add or delete text or move it around. Word does not seem to recognize that the numbers are in the endnote format. So what happens is, say I cut the first sentence and move it further down. The endnotes do not change, and are now out of order.

I was up until 3am trying to figure this out, growing increasingly despondent. Taking a look with fresh eyes, have spent an hour permutating possible settings and am now giving up.
Thank you for any help!
