allow turn off of automatic footnotes or endnotes for publishing

[Guest]

Allow the automatic feature of footnote/endnotes -- their connection to the
text -- to be turned off, as publishers can not work with it.

If your customer doesn't want them, why put them in in the first place?

Academic writing requires footnotes/endnotes, but publishers don't want
automatic numbering. I and others get very frustrated copy-pasting and trying
to eliminate the connection. It sounds easy but it is not. The editor on this
book suggested I go to Microsoft with the issue, as he also deals with it in
his own writing.

Why not just copy the document, convert them to endnotes, and delete them
all at once?

Either I don't understand you or v.v. I don't want them deleted, I just want
them not to be "connected" automatically, so that if you do something to the
number at the point of insertion or at the endnote itself, it affects the
other. I only just found this out after they were created automatically but
apparently it's a common problem for others. So I will have to delete every
trace of notes and numbers, then insert the numbers as superscript instead of
references, then retype the endnotes as just a continuation of the document.
Regardless, the editor suggested I mention to Microsoft as it's a common
problem for items to be published, which academic scholars to a lot.

Third possibility -- more likely, in view of your last post -- is that you
and your publisher aren't understanding each other.
