Hi Alan, I'm coming into this discussion thread late (been on vacation). Ignore my comments if I missed a critical step 8-/
All of the numbering and cross-ref steps seem OK ... whatever works for you. But why not use Conditional text for the temporary footnotes for author use? Conditional text name and color could be set as desired, and then turned off before publication. I make this suggestion because a previous employer used white text for a while, but got stung badly during a change in formatting for publication to HTML. The documents went to customers before anyone discovered that the white text was published in black and the font size was the same as surrounding text. OOoops .... the notes were for in-house use only. Just a thought ... Ed DeRosier Anritsu Company
