Do not use DOC. That is an ancient format that's been abandoned for ~15 years.
If you are using Microsoft Word, save all your documents as DOCX instead.
If you are using LibreOffice Writer, save as ODT.

Do not use OpenOffice. That is an ancient program that's been effectively abandoned for ~10 years.
Use
LibreOffice instead.
Side Note: I wrote more details in
2019: "MS Word vs Open Office Word".
In the past 10 years, OpenOffice has only had a few dozen bugs fixed.
LibreOffice has had
tens of thousands of bugs fixed (with hundreds being fixed
per month) + constantly adds in newer/better functionality.

Do not use these hacks.
Create your footnotes/endnotes using the actual functionality built into the word processor.
In LibreOffice, there is an
Insert Endnote button. (Or
Insert > Footnote and Endnote > Endnote.)
In Microsoft Word, it's
under References > Insert Endnote.

Go back to your source document and redo your footnotes/endnotes properly.
Then conversion to ebooks + other formats will be easier and more reliable.
