Is there any way to get a hard copy of all the posted notes associated with a document (preferably with page and line number references) in fullwrite? thanks, Margot Flowers Flowers@CS.UCLA.EDU ...!(uunet,rutgers,ucbvax,randvax)!cs.ucla.edu!flowers

I didn't think so, and checked the manuals last night. Nope. "In what he called the 'great tradition of warnings in presidential farewells,' Reagan reproached the movies, television and young parents for failing to indoctrinate American youth in 200-proof patriotism, the way they did in his day. 'If we forget what we did,' said the man who still can't remember trading arms for hostages, 'we won't know who we are.' The section ended with this weird passage: 'And children , if your parents haven't been teaching you what it means to be an American, let 'em know and and nail 'em on it. That would be a very American thing to do.'" -- Hendrik Hertzberg --- Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer INTERNET: moriarty@tc.fluke.COM Manual UUCP: {uw-beaver, sun, hplsla, thebes, microsoft}!fluke!moriarty CREDO: You gotta be Cruel to be Kind... <*> DISCLAIMER: Do what you want with me, but leave my employers alone! <*>

Nope. Well.... you don't expect the manuals to tell you everything, do you? In the case of fullwrite, the manuals are not very informative, they just echo the menu structure of the program (like many other manuals). Some kinds of notes are assembled and printed out together (endnotes, bibliography), so it seemed reasonable there might be tools to do so for other kinds of notes. Since the browse menu allows you to leaf through all notes of a certain type, that is one place it might be good to include a reporting function of some sort, or some way that some has figured out of getting some sort of hard copy out of browse. Thanks to John R. Gersh, who reported that save as text appends all notes, one kind at a time, at the end of the document, grouped according to footnotes, references, sidebars, endnotes, etc. [This technique does not use browse, but it works.] However, the posted notes lose their labels -- they don't point to what part of the text they are attached to. So there are no page and line number references. I wonder if anyone knows how to produce them? I don't think you can get them by including a citation because citations in the "save as text" versions end up as just a few CRs and don't give an actual citation (though I haven't tested citations in posted notes). I checked the reference manual under save-as and it didn't mention anything about notes being included in the results of save-as, and it doesn't mention it under notes or browse. So I don't know if the manual includes this fact somewhere else or not not at all. -- Margot
