Footer extraction?

[gurumanos]

Hi,
I've been trying to find a way to save the footers (which are page numbers) of a really long document while exporting it to text (for subsequent parsing) but apparently, footers are ignored. Same thing when trying to save as html (or "publish&quot, the footers won't show in the html code not even as comments.
Last thing I thought doing was to run a macro that picks the footer from every page and places it at the end of the actual page that it belongs to but I do not have the skills to do that. Could somebody please help me either save the document in text form with the footers or give me some pointers on how I go about writing that macro?
Thanks.

Install a Generic/Text Only printer driver in Windows and set it up to print to a file. Select the Generic/Text Only printer in WordPerfect when you print and give a name to the document when it prompts for a filename (usually the file will be save to the root of the C drive with a .prn extension). Tell it to print the document. When it is finished you will have a text only file but it will have the page numbers at the bottom of the document where the footer was.

Hope this helps!

You could also use WordPerfect's built-in macro to convert footers to endnotes and then convert the document to text only. In WP9 the macro is footend.wcm
