A non-fiction book I have converted from PDF to middle-man-format DOCX has footnotes. What do I do if I want to prepare them for ePub?

When it's in ePub format, when I tap on the superscript in the main body of the text, I want to see the footnote pop up, just as in other ePubs I've read. Should I do this prep work in MS Word 2016 or in Calibre? Or in some other program?
On the Forma, you will need to convert from epub to kepub.epub. RMSDK on the Kobo does not do popup footnotes.
