How do I change endnote numbering from Roman to Arabic numbers?
I have no idea why lowercase Roman numbers are the default. No one does it that way.
Numbering appearance can be configured in Tools>Footnotes & Endnotes. There is one tab for Footnotes and one for Endnotes.
Enjoy.
Don’t bet no one does it this way
