     Users of Inmagic software -
     
     I would appreciate hearing from Inmagic users (either DOS or Windows
     versions) who are importing the full text of documents (letters,
     memos, reports, etc.) into Inmagic databases. I am particularly
     interested in discussing experiences with documents containing
     footnotes.
     
     As you know, before being imported into Inmagic, documents must be
     converted to ASCII format. Converting to ASCII deletes most of the
     word processing codes in a document. Since footnotes are imbedded in
     codes in WordPerfect documents, conversion of WP files to ASCII
     deletes footnotes! We have found a somewhat clumsy fix for this
     problem, but would like to know if others have encountered it and how
     they have responded. Please reply to me directly. Many thanks in
     advance.
