@jackibar - I do a lot of Word to EPUB and Mobi
For straight forward documents I save as RTF and convert it with Calibre, I save as filtered HTML if I have tables, endnotes, web links etc.
Make sure your friend has used Word to do the formatting - basically no manual tabbing for horizontal spacing and no extra lines for vertical spacing etc - instead use Word's style features.
The HTML that you get from any word processor is never going to be as compact as HTML that you craft by hand, no matter how you convert it.
The Open Office Writer2Epub path could be an option - but you will have to install OOo for Mac.
