I got Microsoft Word 2016 to open the book PDF. Just as in the PDF, the footnotes in MS Word have a smaller font size than the body. Unlike the PDF, the footnotes in MS Word are no longer at the bottom of the page; instead, they could be in the middle of the page (this is what Word's PDF Reflow does).

Also, the footnote superscript numbers in the body of the text are not linked to the footnote itself.

Is there an automated way to get the footnotes "properly constructed" (not actually sure what that means)?

Thanks all.
I've played with the Sigil FootnoteLinker plugin but don't know if it is suitable for what you need. See [Plugin] FootnoteLinker Sigil plugin for some information on it. Good luck!
