Thanks; but the problem would remain, I think, of dealing with
footnotes; in other words, this isn't so different from opening up the
HTML in OpenOffice, changing the HTML "styles" to standard document
files and then saving as an rtf/doc.

It seems to me that I'm going to have to learn OpenOffice's scripting
language, and figure a way to automate the inclusion of footnote text
contained in another file.
