Footnotes, XYWrite and Word

[Paul Breeze paul.breeze@xxxxxxxx]

I am about to start work on a manuscript which will have a considerable number of footnotes.  I'd like to work in XY3 or XY4 but I am worried about converting to Word at a later stage - a publisher is bound to want copy in Word format.  Is translation from XY to Word of footnotes reliable?  If not, does anybody have any other useful suggestions about how to proceed.  Would NB be a better option, for example?


Thanks
