Change Endnotes to Footnotes in OO Writer

It’s easy to change the position of footnotes and treat them as endnotes using the dialog at Tools->Footnotes/Endnotes, but if they are endnotes, it’s a bit more difficult.  There are a couple of options given on the OpenOffice forum.  I had a document with over 800 endnotes that I wanted as footnotes.  I chose the option of unzipping the file, then replacing text:note-class=”endnote” with text:note-class=”footnote” in content.xml.

I would note that when rezipping the file, you have to remember not to just compress the folder, but rather than files/folders inside it.  The whole procedure is at the link above.
