No need to convert the filtered HTML with calibre. In fact, i think this is a bad idea. Just import the HTML directly into sigil. Copy the stlye-informations from the word generated HTML into a stylesheet. Let Sigil get rid of unused styles. Now just adjust the remaining styles to your liking.
If you have a good word document - one with styles - this will produce a very clean epub. Maybe you want to run a few regexes above it, for example to get rid of MsNormal. If you always use consistent styles in word, you can reuse your epub stylesheet for each converted document. If you have footnotes or some other more complicated things, you want to "fix" them with regexes also. They do work, but could be a little bit prettier. Just remember: Use styles in word.
