Book Designer issues

Hi,
I recently started using book designer, to edit some books I have into the LRF format.

I've had several questions answered by Patricia who was so willing to spend her time helping me out, and I've learned lots already. I spend also a considerable amount of time browsing through the ever longer getting forums, both through the old and new posts, and honestly all this information is driving me nuts .. lol

Whenever a problem arises I can eliminate the problem by changing a setting in BD, but that only leads to another problem.
Like this:

1-
Suggested was to create emdashes from double lines like this: '--'.
I can now do that in MS Word, but I've read about Book Cleaner files, which should do the same thing in BD. I've tried them out, and found all words with 'oe' get replaced by '—'.
Is there any solution to this?
At the moment I'll do the conversion in Word, but it seems book designer reconverts emdashes back to a single dash '-' again,so I'm basically back at the beginning.


2-
I currently only own a Sony Reader, so I save in LRF format. But it's just the touch of a button to convert it to Mobi or other formats.
Would you suggest me converting to another format as well?(despite not having a reader to compare how the text will look like?)

3-
Are there any macro's that can remove footnotes from the text to the bottom of the document?(they are mainly references)
I remember someone writing about them, but I can't seem to find their post back.
My footnotes are all like this: "[Footnote: ...blabla footnote here...]"
