Differentiate between footnotes and abbreviation expansions in resources

Please stop including abbreviations as footnotes when copying into Word, etc.
When users copy from a resource such as BDAG, they don't want to include dozens of abbreviations as footnotes but they may usually want to include true footnotes. Users need to turn the setting on and off generally in order to get it to work properly (or tediously individually delete all unwanted abbreviation footnotes).
Abbreviations should not use the footnote field but should instead use a new abbreviations field.
There should be a new setting called Copy Abbreviations that defaults to No.

Absolutely needed. Very frustrating have pages and pages of abbreviations when all you want is the quote0

It's a much-needed improvement. In the "settings" of the program, "copy notes" should be a different item from "copy subtitles".
