### 6.5.8 Converting footnotes

Word handles footnotes differently from FrameMaker. Mif2Go outputs FrameMaker asterisk footnotes as a count of asterisks. Subscripts and superscripts follow the FrameMaker document settings for relative size and position. The default configuration setting for numbered footnotes uses fixed numbers, emulating FrameMaker’s footnote handling: cross references to footnotes are correct, and the numbers stay the same.

If you need to add or delete footnotes in the output Word document, and you want auto-renumbering to work, you can take your chances with “real” Word footnotes:

[WordOptions]

; Footnotes = Standard (Word default), Embed (between []), None, or

; Variable (using real Word footnotes, so xrefs to them are wrong)

Footnotes=Variable
