The reliable solution is to never ever in any program use lists and especially automatic numbered or letter ones. Use regular paragraph styles that look like the required list and manually number/letter the items. Then the docx to epub is 100% perfect.

Only edit in odt in LO Writer and do an extra Save As in docx

Don't use doc.

After importing doc or docx to Word OR LO Writer from somewhere else the styles, links etc all need checked for two reasons:
1) The other user may have been treating a system like a typewriter and using direct or wrong formatting or styles. Anchors need to be only at the start of a paragraph. All tabs, multiple spaces and empty lines need removed and styles used. Footnote links need to be a whole word, not just the number in box [3], otherwise hard to select.

2) MS has multiple doc format and docx format versions. So stuff goes wrong.
