[WEB4LIB] converting footnotes for the web

[Carl Merat]

Although this is not an html conversion, Adobe Acrobat will convert Word
documents with very minimal degradation of formatting and will allow you to
link either internally within a document or externally to other pdf
documents and/or web pages. It also has very good security that will allow
you to save a document so that it cannot be printed, downloaded and
modified, or copied with cut/paste...unless you want those enabled of
course.

The program is around $50 with the educational discount.

	I would like to ask for any advice on what programs or methods are
effective for converting footnotes into html (as live links) . We are
considering putting up various types of documents which have footnotes and
there seems to be inevitable footnote loss or mutation when using Word or
WordPerfect to convert our documents to html. 
	Also, I'm wondering if any programs can add links at the footnotes
themselves to return the reader to the body of the document.
