Thanks for all the tips!

I'll check the trial of Atlantis, and also look at just restyling everything in Word.

Worst case attempt would be a plain text extraction. There aren't that many images so replacing them wouldn't be hard, but my main concern is the math notations -- they'd be stripped and I have to hand-edit them back in. This is a 223 page book and while it's not heavy on advanced math, it does have a lot of simple equations and fractions. Not looking forward to essentially proofing and hand-editing 200 pages, but it may be my only choice if I want a truly clean epub.

Hopefully the style edit in Word will do the trick, until then I guess I'm stuck with the PDF. At least I have an electronic copy, it's just not in the most convenient format (the PDF reader on the NC sucks).
