Hi Sandra 

Although I've not imported Word documents with endnotes into FrameMaker, it doesn't surprise me that FM would convert the notes into footnotes. This is because FM really has true support only for footnotes; you can have endnotes, but they are in reality just cross-references, with all the extra work that creating and generating x-refs involves. I suggest you read up on endnotes in FM's help files and manual. 

There are some things you could possibly do to make life easier for you, but they depend on how important it is that your notes are editable (ie, delete one and the rest renumber) and that they remain linked to their refs if the file is converted to another format (eg, HTML). 

As for the extra space, just go into the paragraph designer for the text tag that the note refs appear in and click the "Fixed" box for the line spacing.
