Maybe an example is better: think of a 100 pages thesis (or working paper)
with more or less 50 footnotes (not endnotes). Once I finish the document I
want to verify all the footnotes to see if they are correct (op cit, ibid,
etc.). This would be much easier if I could see them all together. If I use
Ibid in a footnote it means I´m citing the same author, book and page as in
the prior footnote; so I have to see the prior footnote to verify it and
this means going to the page where that footnote is. Something useful would
be to have an option to see all footnotes (of all the document) and save
time. MS Office has this option ("See footnotes").
I hope this is helpful.
Thank you very much for your mail.

I´ve being using openoffice for a time now and I´m very pleased with the
product. Nevertheless, there is one feature Microsoft Word has that I find
very usefull and don´t find it in Openoffice.org or StarOffice: see my
footnotes all together at the bottom of the screen so I can properly edit
them. This is very useful in order to see the prior footnote and know if I
have to use Ibidem, opcit, etc. without having to go to the page where the
footnote actually is. Is there a chance new version of openoffice.org
might have this feature?

P.S. Sorry for my terrible english
Do you mean all the footnotes for that page in the same spot, or all
footnotes together for the whole doc, like endnotes?
If you want to make endnotes, perhaps this page will help,
