Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Always starts in Recovery mode when footnotes, endnotes

Hi 
You can have both the 3.3.3 and the 3.4.2 installed alongside each other and 
open the same document with either.  It is not easy and there is a guide on how 
to do it because the straight-forwards route can create problems.  I don't have 
the address of the guide easily available here :(
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

footnotes, endnotes


I was aware of the bug before trying to upgrade to 3.4 because it is written in 
plain text on the release notes of 3.4.2.  Since I am writing a thesis with a 
lot of footnotes, I didn't had the choice to return back to 3.3 until the issue 
is properly resolved.  I think that it is unprofessionnal to leave a bug in a 
software that is supposed to be a direct competitor of ms office.
