Avi writes in a recent message that it is extremely
difficult to patch formatted references into WordPerfect
footnotes and keep the numbers straight.

This may be true.  But a slight kluge would really
help a lot.  If a completed formatted 
reference could be inserted AT THE CITATION-POINT,
one could do do the following:

	According to Mark Poster, "there is an
	absence of reflexiveness in his 
	texts."<[Poster, 1984], p. 155.>

This would ideally get formatted to:

	According to Mark Poster, "there is an
	absence of reflexiveness in his texts."<Mark Poster,
	_Foucault, Marxism and History: Mode of Production 
	Versus Mode of Information_ (Cambridge: Polity,
	1984), p. 155.>

Then one could easily write a macro to take the region
between the angle brackets and make it a footnote or endnote.

In fact, this is what I do now, except that I have a
painfully slow WordPerfect macro that copies formatted
references where they reside at the end of the document into 
the correct places internal to the manuscript.  Then I
convert the stuff between angle brackets to footnotes.

The point is: I need formatted references inside footnotes.
If EndNote could simply patch the formatted reference at the
citation-point, this work-around would be much smoother.
