I tried what you suggested and you know what, it worked! :D

Thanks for the suggestion.

I agree totally. The way it's working now, I have to call a misbehavior.

a tricky solution that turned out to be a bad one...

Hi Craig I thought I was smart having found a kind of solution. I opened the document in Word v.x and used it's function to replace the footnotes with endnotes. It went smootly, I thought... ...until I reopened the document (.rtf) in NWE 2.0.1 and discovered that all the text, all the graphics, ever...

Change from Footnote to Endnote?

What's the easiest and quickest way to change all the footnotes to endnotes? Is there a command, macro or something else that save me the time to do it manually?

When I try to change it manually, the NWE makes the beachball spinn forever or until I force quit NWE.

I had the same experience today, for the first time and hopefully the last. The text disappeared and leaving a large white space there instead. I tried to get the text back by undo my last typing, but it did not work. Then I closed the document and reopened it, but now ALL the text in the document w...

Re: re: wordperfect won't open

We do not open every version of WordPerfect files, only those versions of WordPerfect listed here will work: Hmm, that's a surprise and I do not mean a good one. This means that there is no way to import WordPerfect 3.5e (or other versions of WP for Mac) without first open the files in WP 3.5e and ...

Also, as some of you have discovered, inserting large images can inflate the size of an RTF file substantially. This is unfortunately due to limitations in the RTF file format, though we are looking at some solutions that would hopefully minimize this problem. -Charles I have a file (two actually) ...

I have experienced the same behaviour in many different programs, not only in NWE. Sorry, but I can not recall the name of the programs.

But it's not a NWE bug, more like a Cocoa or MacOS X bug.

The NWE Help doesw not work as it's supposed to work. I think I read somewhere in this forum that they did not have the time to make it work.

Download the pdf-version of the manual instead. It works.
