Endnote/Footnote Jumping Broken

Operating Word 16.96.1 on Mac Sequoia 15.4.1

 

There was an update for Word a week or two ago, and since then, my endnote functionality has been broken. When you double-click on endnote numbers, it should jump to the corresponding note. This is not working. (For footnotes either.) If the cursor is located at the endnote number, I can click "Show Notes" in the header, and it will jump, but that takes too much time. 

 

I have restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Word, opened Word in safe mode, moved files from the library to the desktop (per support instructions)... nothing has fixed it. I have updated the computer software since this happened, and completed another Word update, but otherwise, I haven't installed any other apps or programs. 

 

I am a professional editor, so I spend all day in Word checking endnotes, and I lose so much time not having the jump functionality. Any help would be appreciated!
