I get two stylesheets, decent styling and the pages broken up into sections.
2. open the converted word docx html file in Sigil
I get no external stylesheet and no colored headers ( to name a few) and ONE page for the document
It seems using method one gives me better results but I now need to embed a font into the file and use it ONLY in a section on page4.
I already added the font into the folder, I see its in the manifest already but I need to know how to assign the font to JUST the paragraph I need it to display in and not the entire file.
anyone?
thx

The best way to do what you want is both option 1 and then followed up by option 2.
Take the converted ePub, load it into Sigil and clean up the mess. Word will leave a mess and Calibre is not going to have cleaned it up when converting. After you've cleaned up the mess, save the ePub without your embedded fonts and make a copy. Then you can play around with the fonts until it looks good on an eInk screen.
