Hi, so I'm publishing a small academic journal through my university. I've pretty much gotten the articles into their basic editing shape, however one annoyance that has cropped up for every article has to do with the placement of the endnotes section at the end of each paper.



Basically, I want there to be about three lines of space after the last sentence of the main body. Then it should have the heading of "Notes", follow immediately by the endnotes. However, most often the endnotes list does not want to sit right under the heading. It automatically goes to the next page, leaving a large amount of space blank. To fix it, what I've had to do is either increase the amount of lines before the Notes heading, or I'll just increase the font size of one of the blank lines. When it gets to a certain point, the footnotes list will pop up right below the Notes heading like I want it to be, but it's finicky. For instance, increasing the line spacing to say, 12 pt might do the trick of getting the footnotes onto the correct page, but increasing it to 13 (or decreasing it to 11) will just make the footnotes go to the wrong page like before.

Does anyone know what is going on? The only thing I can think is it has something to do with me deleting the endnote line separator and continuous separator in draft view, but I can't have these lines show up in the final product, so I'm at a loss. I'm prepared to swallow my annoyance since the articles look great otherwise, but I'd really like to get this figured out. If anyone can help I'd be so appreciative and I can send you one of the problematic articles through direct message so you can fool around for yourself. Thanks.
