Using SAS with footnote text in window



Re Bob Brody's question, I just tried using SAS with marked
text in an open footnote window in XW 4.12 and XY 4.017. In
both instances the program saves text from outside the
footnote (in my case from the top of the file) rather than
the marked excerpt.

In years of extensive and varied use it never occurred to me
to try this procedure or expect that it would work, since
any saving when a footnote window is open automatically
closes it. I always go into expanded mode for saving
footnote excerpts, and of course that works without a hitch.
So does cutting text from an open footnote window and
pasting it into a new file (in XY as well as XW).
