Should be a snap for software to do. But does any software do it? Best answer would be how to do it in Calibre, or MS Word, or the Atlantis word processor, which I'm trying out now.
Calibre can't do the DOC conversion part.
(And this assumes there is some sort of identifiable Chapter markup (The word 'Chapter' usually works)

Save as filtered HTML. Now convert with Calibre.

(Another option is Writer2EPUB plugin for Open Office . This deals with the DOC part and the EPUB part pretty well.)
