BUG: Footnotes do not appear when exported into MS Word
Hi, I've seen that the problem of exporting footnotes into MS Word was said to have been resolved in Logos 4.5 (see this post and its links; http://community.logos.com/forums/p/26210/193255.aspx#193255)
However, I haven't been able to see any footnotes (from the Pillar commentary on Mark or the NAC on Mark) appear in an actual Word 2010 new document, even though the footnotes appear correctly in the Print/Export preview page. The superscript appears in the text in the Word doc, but there are no footnotes. I'm using Logos 5.0a SR-4 with footnotes and citations both set to 'yes' in the settings.
I searched and did not see this as a known issue. Is it just happening for me, or do others have the same problem too?
As a workaround, I can select the text and copy, and then paste it into a Word doc (highlighting and dragging selected text from L5 into a Word doc doesn't copy footnotes, but copy and paste does).

In a different thread on the Forums one of the "Stars" [Rosie?] agrees with your experience?

Hi SteveF, any idea which thread? I couldn't find anything recent by searching the forum.

This one perhaps: Logos 5 Footnotes???
Thanks fgh. It's somewhat relevant, but it doesn't really focus on the problem in print/export.
I often struggle with the search feature on the forum, since it doesn't always return relevant results. For example, I did a search for both 'Rosie' and 'Footnote' but it didn't turn up any results initially, and there now after your post another search only turned up one result that was not relevant - the difference between the searches was only that I reversed the order of the words. Strange. Ah well.

Yes it was that thread; this is my post in that thread in which I mentioned that old bug that has been around since the print/export feature was first implemented: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/65214/456170.aspx#456170
I have also nagged the powers that be about it. Hopefully it'll get some attention.

Thanks Rosie, I missed your comments on print/export in the middle of that post when I read the thread first time round.
It seems that Logos is under the impression that this has been resolved, as Bradley Grainger commented "This is available in Logos 4.5." on the Logos Uservoice, and the item has been classified as 'Completed.' (http://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-4/suggestions/1118839-print-footnotes?ref=title)
Is it possible that the problem is working in some contexts but not in other? That is, are footnotes copied across on Apple computers, or in Windows XP but not in Windows 7? Or does it work in Word 2003/2007/2013 but not in 2010? (I'm using Word 2010 in Windows 7.)
Yet, with the workaround of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, footnotes can be copied, although it is not as straightforward for longer sections.

Nothing convoluted - it only works if you export to an XPS document with "show footnotes on page" ticked.

Hello John,
I am able to reproduce this behavior on Windows 7 64bit with Word 2010. The Footnotes show in the text as super-script, but are not linked to any data. I'll run this by Development and see if I can get some clarification about why it appears this way.

To follow up on Mike's post, it looks like Dev is aware of the problem, and are working on a solution.

This will be fixed in 5.1 Beta 9 for beta testers, and in general when 5.1 ships to the stable channel.

Could someone on Mac beta do me a favour and check whether this is fixed for LibreOffice as well?

This seems only partly fixed on Windows: Word 2007 gets endnotes instead of footnotes.
Sending this to Word brings 6082.Test.docx
Luckily, in this section the new 100-pages bug does not strike.
Have joy in the Lord!
