Endnote numbers appear at end although deleting in body.

[Guest]

I having trouble editing an essay from which several pages of text were
deleted. Although endnote numbers have been deleted in the body of the text,
three of them still appear at the end and I can't get them to go away. New
endnotes created also start with number 15.

Place the insertion point in the first of these problematic endnotes. Press
Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to display the
Immediate Window. Type

Selection.Endnotes(1).Delete

and press Enter. If this works, repeat the procedure for the remaining
endnote paragraphs.

After you've successfully deleted the "ghost" endnotes, change the
starting number in the endnote options (Insert | Reference | Footnote).
