A solution that I found (but not ideal either) is to save the word document as "Word 97-2003 Document", then right click on text box -> Format Text Box -> Text Box -> Convert to Frame. This allow to add references and comments in the text box.

Footnotes are notes placed at the bottom of a page. They cite references or comment on a designated part of the text above it. For example, say you want to add an interesting comment to a sentence you have written, but the comment is not directly related to the argument of your paragraph.

Word does not allow the insertion of either footnotes or endnotes into text boxes. You can, however, insert them into frames. A frame is a document object that has been around since the very earliest days of Word, but they received less and less attention since the introduction of text boxes.

Add a footnoteClick where you want to add the footnote.Click Insert > Insert Footnote. Word inserts a reference mark in the text and adds the footnote mark at the bottom of the page.Type the footnote text.

In a footnote referencing system, you indicate a reference by: Putting a small number above the line of type directly following the source material. This number is called a note identifier. It sits slightly above the line of text.
