concerning footnotes when using openoffice writer
When using openoffice writer to write thesis, I find the footnotes often
disrupted when converted into doc. Say, the lines are shifted and there are
redundant numbering bullets. It is hard to avoid converting into doc.
because I don't have a printer, and all the computers at school dont have
openoffice.
Looking forward to improvements :)
Cheers,
Yuk

There is no immediate fix for this. It is best to use the defined styles for footnotes, the styles modified if necessary to suit your need, rather than to individually (directly) format each footnote to suit your requirements.
You can use a portable version of OpenOffice which will run off a USB key. I'm sorry, I haven't an up-to-date link for this version.

That is also my suggested workaround.
If possible, please submit an issue in Bugzilla and provide a sample
document which shows the described 'footnote disruption' when converting
to the Microsoft Word file format. Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Oliver.
