I then converted the ePub using another program (AVS Document Converter) and this created an RTF document which both Word and LibreOffice can open.

The ePub is attached, but the two RTF versions are too large to arrach to the post, so they have been uploaded to SkyDrive.

Try Sigil and work on the EPUB directly
Use Calibre to convert EPUB to EPUB then either try Sigil as theducks said (my first choice) or see if then you can convert successfully to RTF (my second choice).

Good luck!
