Re: Footnotes/Endnotes formatting

[Paul Lagasse pglagasse@xxxxxxxx]

My method'll convert all instances of ≪PN≫ to page numbers -- it's
grabbing the PN's in headers and footers too, so if those are trashed,
just run the program on a copy of the doc, extract the info you need,
and ditch the copy. But doing it this way uses PN to pinpoint where the
page number should go in the footnote, and strips it out. If PN isn't
yet and needn't be in the footnote, Harry's method is better.
