"Forget about Word, just upload the mobi"
It's Amazon's problem as I didn't change anything and every other way of making a mobi from doc or docx works. So now I use the epub because it's absolutely the same as my original odt in Writer "Save As" docx. I'm only using dual mobi for preview and upload to Smashwords for mobi downloads.

Not sure how you see it as "Amazon's" problem considering you're using 3rd party software to make a book that's goign to be read on someone else's retail eBook site. {shrug} It's patently
not their problem. Why should they care if SW sells MOBIs or not? Or whether your mobis, created for that purpose, break where you think they should or not?
With regard to footnotes, as you say you're a former programmer, the processing power that would be needed to create them at the bottom of the page, no matter WHAT the user does, in every environment, every device, etc., should be obvious to you. Almost everyone I've ever spoken to
loves linked footnotes, and I know that I do as well. Perfectly logical way to make them work.
You obvoiusly have a routine that works for you and I don't think, from this thread, that you're really interested in revisiting it, so...I'm glad it's working for you.
Good luck.
