First off, welcome to MR

Calibre is a great library manager and format converter. It can be used to fix some things in an ePub but you are probably much better off using Sigil (also free and also well supported with its own forum here on MR). Sigil is a true ePub editor.

If you still have the original Word files you may find that re-saving those as either "Filtered HTML" or "RTF" and using Calibre to convert the results to ePub will yield a file with fewer issues. The basic nature of PDF makes it an extremely poor choice for an intermediate format in the conversion chain.
