WordPerfect changed the file format for WP 3.0 -- earlier versions of
EndNote couldn't read the files at all.  That's what the upgrade does:
provide basic compatibility and the ability to format bibliographies in the
new version.

I'm sorry that we could not support footnotes: it's on our list for future
versions.  We're also looking into better ways to interact with all word
processors, so we don't have to rewrite our formatting every time a new
version of each word processor comes out.  Part of that interaction will
probably include scanning and formatting footnotes.

Yours,
