Word gives you this nice heap of bad code that you'll be spending time to get rid of.
What I suggest is a good text editor such as Notepad++ and use text markup/comments to denote your formatting so you can easily edit it in Sigil.
For example...
_some italic text_
*some bold text*
#insert picture here#
#center this next line#
Stuff like that. Then you can easily find where you need to do things and it will overall be easier to go from your text to an ePub in Sigil.
You don't have to write each section/chapter separately. Sigil can help with the splitting and you can rename the files so you know what's what by the filename.
