EPUB to DOCX with footnotes
Wrong Thread, I am sorry!

Hello, I have an epub file which I want to convert to docx. The footnotes are hyperlinks in the epub file. Is there a way to convert the file with properly converted footnotes for MS Word?

Try converting the ePub to HTML and load the HTML into Word and see how that works.

Wait?!

this is my first time getting stuck with the same problem...is there really no way to tell calibre when converting epub to docx to make proper footnotes/endnotes rather then hyperlinked text? I would think this was 1990 type of problem.

Invent a time machine, go back to 1990 and solve it then.

no need for sarcasm...this wasn't a rant against what you've built...calibre does a great job converting between so many different formats. I'm just puzzled when I encounter something which looks like a problem someone surely encountered before (even before calibre was around, I would think).

Anyways...knowing that I don't know how to fix it but also that it's not easy fixable is good enough for me at this point.

tnx Kovid for all your work.

How could converting epub to docx be a 1990 type of problem when neither epub nor docx existed in 1990?

It was a reference to something which seems to be around forever...like MS Word....docx is just the newest format...not even important for this conversation.

My bad if I oversimplified the whole issue. For some reason, I was sure conversion of text with notes would be more simple. I've heard there were Macro solutions, but the 2 I tried didn't really work.

Ebooks dont have the concept of pages, a hyperlinked footnote is really an endnote. Additionally, footnotes in ebooks are just links, and not always well encapsulated/defined. Automated translation of such endnotes to footnotes, is technically possible, but not really trivial. I dont feel like doing the work for it, but patches are most welcome.
