Quoting "Rowland, Larry" <larry.rowl...@hp.com>:

I am not sure which versions of DocBook and OpenOffice you are using
or the platform you are working on, but OpenOffice can import some
DocBook versions.  You set the document type to DocBook in the Open
dialog box and then open the XML file.  Your mileage may vary, but
if the versions of the tools you are using support this, it is an
easier path than pasting rendered content into the editor.


docbook2odf (http://open.comsultia.com/docbook2odf/) might also be worth a try. Last time I had a look at it, it was a bit limited, but these limitations may be different from the limitations of OO's builtin DocBook support. Just try and see what it does to your footnotes.

regards,
Markus
