Hi Gary

What package are you copying from and the pasting to? It depends on the 
packages.

Why are you using copy/paste?  Are you copying the whole document or 
just a few pages of it?

Retaining Formatting - do you want to have blank lines where the 
footnotes were?

If you are having a lot of footnotes in the document, and not just a 
"page footer" like page number, then you have to decide which is easiest 
for you to do.  Personally, if there are not many footnotes, then I 
might want to just edit them out and make sure you remove the "footnote 
indicators" - i, ii, *, or other superscript characters.

I know that there use to be extensions to deal with footnotes easier, 
but it has been a long time since I was creating a long document needing 
any.

I hope what I just typed give you any information to help find the 
proper options.  Sorry if I did not.
