Subject: Bill Francis's WP5.0 footnote query--
My solution (in 5.0 and 5.1) has been to copy the text of the footnote
to the second document (using move or copy CTL-F4) and switch back
and forth from the "real" text in Doc 1 to the footnote text in
Doc 2. When you have it all straight, move the footnote text back
into its rightful place in the "real" document.

People discussed ways of sending WordPerfect files. The follown is a way
of doing it to perserve the entire file intact. It works with footnotes
and even with graphs that have been imported from other software.
If I have a file called
MYFILE.51 this is what I do:
1. From the DOS prompt in the WP51 directory I run CONVERT.EXE
by entering:
CONVERT
The input file is MYFILE.51
The output file is MYFILE.7
I use the CONVERT program to convert the 51 file to a "Seven-Bit Transfer
Format."
2. upload MYFILE.7 and call it MYFILE SEVEN (on CMS)
3. Use Sendfile to send MYFILE SEVEN to whoever over bitnet.
4. The person on the other end downloads MYFILE SEVEN and calls it
MYFILE.7.
5. The person then runs his/her own CONVERT using MYFILE.7 as the input
file and MYFILE.51 as the output file. The option is "Seven Bit Transfer
File to WordPerfect 5.1.
