You might try saving the DOS-WIN document in the RTF (Rich Text Format)
mode and then open that copy in MAC Word 5.0 or 5.1.  RTF saves all the
formatting in code and that should include footnotes. Open the Mac
application first, and then from WITHIN it, open the RTF file. Be sure to
click on the pop-up menu button that specifies what format you want Mac
Word to convert. For other conversion filters, check your Word Commands
folder, which should be inside the application folder itself.
