Thanks Guys,

At least I'm not going too far out of my way to get the job done.

Now I know that this is a Calibre forum, but for anyone who is interested, there is an easier way to get Word documents into epub format...

There is a bit of software "Aspose.Words for Microsoft Word" which is free, installs as a plug-in (I think?), in Word and allows you to "save as" an epub format file.

Link is http://www.aspose.com/community/file...try194468.aspx Although it is free, you have to register in order to download it - I know it says 30 day trial, but it is completely free - and not limited to 30 days.

The down side to this, is that it's not as polished as Calibre, no automatically generated TOC, no page breaks - not even those manually inputted into the original document.

Thanks again for the suggestions / tips - all are welcome!
