As I am a software developer by trade I decide to take a couple fast minutes to look in to all the complaints about conversions.
I pulled 2 epub's off Smashwords and looked at the source in NotePad++ and I do not see what the problem is. Looks like Smashwords uses Open Office + TidyHTML to do its work and the files look clean and simple. The CSS was basic and would have been easy to change if I wanted to.
So then I opened one of my .doc files, saved it as .rtf and converted to epub with Calibre. Calibre did not do as good of a job as Smashwords does. I do not know if that is a artifact of the rtf step in between, or something else, but Calibre was much more verbose then needed. A million times better then if I had saved the file to HTML via MS-Word, but not as good as Smashwords does.
So I guess, I am still not seeing the problem. Ah well...
