How to remove unnecesary items in a text?

I've been tweaking a couple books I own to e-book format, I can work a bit with BD and other tools to adapt books to my Kindle, but I've come with a problem that no matter how, I can't get rid of.

The text I wanna adapt has a header in every page, and a page number at the bottom. these things are "normal text", I mean that no matter how I convert the file or what format I use, it always appear as text instead of the typical .pdf/.doc header that is much easier to clean.

The only text editor that seems to make this a bit more friendly is, amazingly, Microsoft Word, as it seems the text was made in this program, and at least here I have the headers and page numbers "ordered" in every page, but apart from that, I have no clue of how to do this. When I open the document directly by BD, it takes the page numbers as titles and ignores the real chapter titles, even being very noticeable by .pdf or .doc (they appear in bold italic and like 10 sizes bigger than the rest of the text, but this is apparently ignored in BD).

I've tried everything I know, turning the text in like 8 formats and copying all to BD directly and other stuff. Would it be a way to do something, like, deleting stuff selectively in Word, or something in BD to do this?
