Description: My genealogy program generates descendant lists in .rtf format. For various reasons I need the list in .txt format, so I loaded the .rtf list into LibreOffice and saved it as a .txt file. The document is saved and looks fine, except for the fact that the source footnotes are missing. This happens all the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load the attached .rtf file into LibreOffice Writer 2. Save the file as a .txt file 3. Look at the bottom of the .txt file -- the source footnotes will be missing Actual Results: The source footnotes of the .txt document are missing Expected Results: The source footnotes should have been saved in .txt format at the end of the document. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: If the same .rtf document is saved in .html format, the source footnotes are saved properly, but of course in .html format.

I re-tested this bug with Libreoffice Writer v.7.3.1.3 (x64) and it still occurs -- the endnotes are not saved when saving in .txt format. I also saved the same .rtf file in html format and the endnotes were saved correctly.
My apologies -- here is the Libreoffice Help information for my previous comment: Version: 7.3.1.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a69ca51ded25f3eefd52d7bf9a5fad8c90b87951 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-CA (en_CA); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
No repro with this version of LibreOffice, I can see the source footnotes in the .txt file like in the .odt file.

Still reproducible for me with Version: 24.2.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 433d9c2ded56988e8a90e6b2e771ee4e6a5ab2ba CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded
