I find Calibre formatting very ugly to read. Nice team though. I like to retain author's layout where I can. So I attempted your method, and now all muddled.
Is there still no automatic program (april 2012)?
I found this free online converter from epub (or mobi) to PDF (or word):
http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-pdf
I used to ipad or msreader. as output setting. although I read on my iphone. these were best result for me after testing all options.
bad news on result:
1 images cut in half (so no intelligent page cut offs)
2 images are not "images" in output
3 hyperlinks are NOT active
4 sometimes, for ipad, the bibliography would get split e.g. 1 entry per page..
good news
1 formatting is nice (much better than Calibre)
2 its 1 step process, very quick and free
-----
I have sigil, but find it very confusing to use.
1 In sigil, can I add this "merge" function on toolbar so 1 click?
2 In sigil, can I add this "extract" function on toolbar so 1 click?
I have another texteditor (also I find confusing).
3 what are steps to "Change the header" by making is pure HTML
4 How do I "set UTF-8".
I can do rest of steps
5 Load the HTML in Word.
lastly, any improvement on "retaining style names"?

you said:
One issue is that the style names are gone. I would have loved that those style names would be retained in Word. At least the styles are applied most of the times. Sometimes italics are gone.
