Description randomthot 2004-11-23 09:55:04 UTC 
The formatting guidelines for APA style submissions specify the following order
for the sections in a document:

title page
abstract
text
references
appendixes
author note
footnotes/endnotes  <---
tables
figure captions
figures

There is currently no way to utilize the endnote function in such a paper if it
is to also include any of the last three listed sections. This combined with the
inability to place a heading on the first page of the endnotes section (another
outstanding issue) make OOo less than ideal for academic purposes.

Provision should be made to place Endnotes at an arbitrary location ala
Insert->Tables and Indexes.

This would be a valuable enhancement.
Same behaviour in global documents. So, no workaraounf to this for now
Comment 2 pseudo_daoist 2004-11-23 22:55:30 UTC 
I'll just point out that _The Chicago Manual of Style_ (12 edition) lists the
sequence for backmatter as being:

Appendix
End notes
Glossary
Bibliography
Index
Colophon

Submitting book manuscripts to publishers, with the pages out of sequence
doesn't look very professional.

This is a sorely needed enhancement, for professional writers.

For the Bibliographic project I would also support this proposal. 
 
As a suggestion for implementation. Currently the 
Insert->Section->Footnotes/Endnotes panel has an option for Endnotes 'Collect 
at End of Section'.  
Perhaps there could be an option  'Collect all the document's Endnotes at the 
end of this section'. Only one section in a document could have these setting. 
This would allow to create a section for the Endnotes wherever they like.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
