Question Importing / Converting DOCX files

Gents,

My current method is to edit the book in Word - then save as Web Page (filtered) - then import to Calibre - then convert to epub.

Now, I know that Word's "docx" format is actually a thinly disguised Zip file containing HTML files...

So, it is possible to get Calibre to directly import "docx" files into calibre? I realise that it is currently not possible but maybe in the future?

I really like (that means I've gotten used to) Word's editing features - I'm old so I don't really want to learn the idiosyncrasies of a whole new software - and don't forget the extra costs

Alternatively, does anyone know of a better method?

Many thanks - (BIG) Fan of Kovid
