Is there a way to copy and paste just the footnotes into a new document while preserving the original footnote numbering? Once you break the link with the reference, all of the numbering goes to "1" for all notes. I tried turning into footnotes, pasting while preserving source formatting but cannot seem to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.
