--- Comment #10 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
MSWord has two choices for footnotes - at page-end or page-bottom. LO has two
very different choices for footnotes - at document-end or page-bottom.

Since document-end footnotes are essentially indistinguishable from endnotes,
the patch in comment 9 converts those footnotes into endnotes during
DOC/DOCX/RTF export.

Some compromises had to be made. The main compromise is that the anchor
numbering for endnotes defaults to i,ii,iii while footnotes are 1,2,3. The
conversion obviously will switch to endnote style. This is user adjustable of
course (Tools - Footnotes and Endnotes) which will be retained on following
file-saves.  So this compromise can be easily managed by the user.

Also the (footnote) paragraph style is also retained, but future endnotes will
use a potentially different endnote paragraph style. By default they are
identical, so most people will never even notice. Again, the user can switch
paragraph styles later if necessary.
