Are you in Normal View?

Do they appear if you select View | Footnotes?

Do they appear in Print Preview?

See if the style Footnote Reference might have "hidden" applied to it. I
don't know your version of Word, so I can't tell you exactly what steps to
take to see a style definition.

Pardon, I meant check the style Footnote Text (Footnote Reference only
controls the numbers).

The endnotes fail to appear in any view. Of the 120 in this section, 20 don't
appear. I have version 2003. I checked styles and do not find any "hidden"
option for endnote text. AFter playing with the document for a while, I now
can not bring up these notes either as endnotes or footnotes. They only seem
to live inside the little yellow boxes. Thanks for trying to help.
