Comment 2 for bug 1421056

Thank you for your quick response. I wouldn't be opposed to using docx but when I tried to have OpenOffice export my file, it created several other formatting issues, like turning my headings to bulleted or numbered lists, or losing page breaks. I'm not sure how I could approach it differently; I use named styles for all my formatting -- not manual or direct styles. So, I gain the nice footnote back links, but then have to wrestle with other formatting issues. The odt files (and I've converted nearly 100) have done well, except for the few cases where I've had footnotes. I know this is a relatively small thing, but I think the simple changes I suggested above would take care of it. It does look like odfpy (https://github.com/eea/odfpy) isn't completely abandoned. There has been some activity over the past year (mainly merging in pull requests). Perhaps it is still an option?

Thank you again,
Joshua
