Trust us, you're not coming off in a wrong way at all. Many of us are well aware of Word's inconsistencies and hidden extraneous formatting codes, and what they can do to even the simplest files. Any system that uses Word docs as source material is asking for trouble, and usually generating a lot of useless drek in the process of creating that file.
I manually convert my Word files to clean HTML, and use that as a base for creating my other formats. Unfortunately, I have no such control over vendors, and sometimes the effort you go through to tweak the Word file for some services just isn't worth the trouble.
