How do I include endnotes in a separate file?

I want to submit an article to a journal that requires that endnotes be
included in a separate file. The guidelines state: "do not use automatically
generated notes." How do I include footnotes in a separate file? Must I go
back to the old fashioned method of simply typing my footnotes?

Apparently so. At least it's easier to reorder them in Word than it was with
a typewriter.

If you insert endnotes normally as you go along. Save the document c/w its
endnotes.
When you are happy with the result, extract the endnotes to a separate
document using the following macro.
The endnotes are removed from the original document and the endnote
reference numbers are replaced with plain numbers.
*When saving the resulting documents, ensure that you save the original with
a different name so that you can go back to the original later and make
changes*.

Sub CopyEndnotes()
Dim sDoc As Document
Dim tDoc As Document
Dim sId As String
Dim oRng As Range
Set sDoc = ActiveDocument
Set tDoc = Documents.Add
For i = sDoc.Endnotes.Count To 1 Step -1
sId = sDoc.Endnotes(i).Index
Set oRng = sDoc.Endnotes(i).Range
tDoc.Range.InsertBefore sId & ". " & oRng.Text
If i > 1 Then tDoc.Range.InsertBefore Chr(13)
sDoc.Endnotes(i).Reference.Select
Selection.TypeText sId
Next i
tDoc.Activate
End Sub
