*e: Deluxe Version only
*f: Doesn't work with WordPerfect 6.1 But does with WP 9
*g: Ignores all citations except BMDB
*h: Not bold

*k: No period + not right aligned
*l: No page numbers given + no codes exported
*m: No boiler plate (fixed verbiage) allowed
*n: Notes don't honor sort dates: ordered by event type

*p: Footnotes do not behave correctly when RTF is imported to MS Word. RTF cannot be imported to WP 6 at all.
