I think you mean using Calibre to do the conversion.
But there are a lot of worse things being done in this tutorial. The worst offender is using a word processor to convert the quotes and apostrophes to left/right versions. So this "clean" code/text that once existed is not a horrible mess. If I had clean HTML to start with, I'd be using Sigil to keep it so since I would know the CSS styles I've created. This tutorial is a bit long winded to eventually botch it up near the end.
If you are wanting left/right quotes and apostrophes the easy way to do it is pick a character to use in place of a quote so all you do in the end is some simple search/replaces and you have it sorted. No need to get even near Word.
If this is a book that is not going to see print, a text editor is just fine to use to write the book. If it is also going to print, load the text file in and format it for print and leave the text version for conversion to the eBook versions.
