>Wow!! Errr, is that something that LaTex or Scribus might be better >at? If so can they read and work with the output from LO? TeX, LaTeX, and their family can certainly do footnotes. However, I don't think they are as capable at importing LO/OOo text as Scribus is. Scribus will directly import text from Writer, and preserve styles in the process. You can even map the Writer styles to Scribus styles if you want. Scribus works very well with LO/OOo. However, the current stable version of Scribus (1.41) lacks footnotes and tables, although they are on the roadmap for the next release. As for footnotes, however, Scribus will preserve the superscripts in the text, and will convert the text of the footnotes to endnotes. After importing the text to Scribus you can cut the endnotes off the end of the story and paste in as a new story. The new story can be manually threaded to text frames at the bottom of the appropriate pages. Unless you have a gazillion footnotes, this works very well. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
