how do I import footnotes to a publisher document ?

[Tripleaxel1]

When I import a word document into plublisher, the footnotes do not show up.
How can I import the Whole document incluiding the footnotes

In Publisher 2002, one has to create headers/footers and then copy and paste
footnote text, because Publisher 2002 does not support footnotes directly..

Bear in mind that MS Publisher is a frame-based desktop publisher, as
opposed to MS Word that is a full blown word processor..

Aren't headers and footers for display on ALL pages rather than ONE page?

Yes, they do, but unless you put text into them, they don't show (do
they?).. when printing out pages, I would have thought that footnotes should
appear in a protected part at the base of the page.. if this was not so,
some may end up mistakenly reading the footnote as a new paragraph and in
this way, lose continuity from the last word of the footnote to the first on
the next page..

... Unless, of course, one is using a Newsletter style template in which
case, one wouldn't use footnotes anyway..

When doing publications for internal IBM use, I always kept footnotes at the
base of the page, but you have me wondering now.. I will go and find a book
that has footnotes and look to see how it was executed..

Yes the footnote should appear at the bottom of the page - but I thought
that the footer would display the *same text* on every page. Which it does.
Which we don't want.

Footnotes are traditionally executed something like this

Lorem* ipsum page text ends here

__________
* Lorem ipsum dolor set amet

[PAGE TURN]
and begins again here.

After having a another play this morning, I can see where you are coming
from.. that's not good at all is it.. to be honest with you, I didn't think
that Publisher carried anything over from one page to another other than
page numbering.. I will crawl into my corner and RTFM..

Tripleaxel1, I apologise for giving misleading advice re. the use of
headers/footers in Publisher.. I was right about the part where you have to
copy footnotes over separately, but you really DON'T want to put them into a
footer..

Ed, while I was playing around, I also looked up the meaning of 'Lorem ipsum
dolor..... ' .. Having learned Latin from the age of 8 at school (one of
the many joys of a British Prep School education), I always accepted the
wording for what it appeared to be, but could never be bothered to find out
what it meant..

Now I know.. http://nwalsh.com/comp.fonts/FAQ/cf_36.htm
