Really? Do you have some bad filters in SWORD?
How does your web.conf file look like?
Does it contains omething like "GlobalOptionFilter=GBFFootnotes" ?
It works pretty well for me.

It's already and it's in red and a smller font. At least on my box.

I think you are missing the GlobalOptionFilter flag in web.conf

Really? Is really <2> display ? But the caption is wrong if no presenter is 
opnened, this is right.

I know.
We are slow. They do not convert their text to HTML (have a look in 
CSWORDChapterDisplay and CSWORDEntryDisplay).
