As for manually adding the xhtml code to a .docx or .doc one can add all the code using standard symbols <p class="indent">paragraph</p> etc, etc. easily in Word. One doesn't need to create a .txt file for Sigil to correctly accept material from a native Word format. To learn I think the best way is to download a few epub files from MR into Sigil and study how the coding is done and see if you can apply similar coding a short Word test file and copy/pasting it to a Sigil document in order to find if it works ok in ADE. I especially like using the Word editing options to auto-code all paragraphs correctly, and then slightly modifying the resulting markup where paragraphs need special formatting such as centering. I strongly recommend giving it a try because it isn't difficult to learn.
On the internet there are many resources you can find to explain various xhtml markup tags.

I did not know that about the doc vs docx distinction. Your method for the html code sounds good. Is it like working with Word styles at all? I'll have to experiment with that. I appreciate you sharing it.
