Hopefully as time goes on people will realise that it will save them a lot of time if they step away from Word as their primary manuscript editor. It's a useful program for many things but it seems that so many people have having a hell of an unfortunate time generating eBooks from it, lots of fiddling.

We use LyX here. Export to HTML -> Import to Calibre -> Generate ePub/Mobi.

If the world is fortunate, Microsoft might bring out an eBook export facility to Office. Though I'm guessing even then that'll have to be tweaked a lot.

Sincerely, best of luck,
Paul.
