Yes, I was aware of this problem. I have been doing footnotes and endnotes in MS Word for many many years. I wrote my dissertation in it from 2000-2003. It was only this specific situation that gave me these difficulties. I removed the '1'/'i' that showed because it was doubled. I only needed one.


Long ago, I formatted proper CMOS footnotes and endnotes and asked Word to use that format in all new documents. For some reason, it did not do that. In fact, when I added a note in the main text, the endnote numbers at the end of the text were aligned all over the place: flush left, one tab over, etc. I have no idea what happened. I expect software to work the same way each time. This behavior stumped me. So, I did some hacking on each endnotes, until I did a copy and paste of the entire document and that fixed most of the issues.


Anyways, thanks for the help. I've got things going.
