Hi --

I have a question.  Recently I was trying to print out the draft of a paper
which had endnote in text citations unformatted.  I was using Word 5.1
running on a Mac under system 6.  Unfortunately, the program bombed, and I
ultimately figured out that it was the markers before and after the intext
citations that caused the crash.

As a student, it is often simpler to print out works-in-progress to read
and edit without taking the time to format and unformat the paper.  It is
very desirable to drop the paper to disk without taking the libary, work on
a computer at school, rather than at home, and then print out a draft on
the laser printer.

Is this simply not possible, or is there some simple solution I not seeing.
 The other day I simply changed the markers to brackets and printed out the
paper (but it still crashed when a marker was found in a footnote.)  This
is not a hugely burdensome problem, but it is irksome when one is working
under deadline at the end of the quarter.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

-- Chris
