Thanks gmw. This sounds too good to be true. (I looked at the link.) It seemed like Glen favored LibreOffice, so if I compose in LibreOffice, then I export to EPub, then to Sigil for the final tidy-up, I'll be good to go.

I've got a couple of novels in Word 2003 still so those will be what I'll be working on for a bit, but I'm definitely keeping your suggestion in mind for future projects. Thanks a lot.
