Word cannot convert footnote references or endnote references to normal text and keep the footnotes or endnotes intact. Although a macro could be used to preserve any endnote content - since they only appear at the end of the relevant Sections - doing the same for footnotes is fraught with difficulty. The simplest way to achieve such an outcome is to save the document as a PDF, then reimport the PDF into Word.
