Mr Mikel, I've been quite successful transferring .xhtml's from an ePub produced with writer2epub to an epub-in-the-making using Sigil.
If you start the Sigil project by opening the writer2epub-produced epub, the stylesheet on which the latter depends is already added and part of the new Sigil project. After that, you simply need to bring all auxiliary files associated with a .xhtml in the writer2epub-produced epub over to the Sigil project, preferably before transferring the xhtml itself. For example, if you want to transfer a .xhtml containing a picture with text nicely wrapped, you have to transfer that picture as well -- to the Images folder of the Sigil project -- making sure the filename remains as it was in the writer2epub-produced epub.
Some neat-looking distance between the picture and the wrapped text -- when the project is viewed with an eReader -- is easily "faked" by adding a white border on the one side of the picture, with your picture editor.
I've had many pleasant surprizes. The experimental Sigil-project I'm working on looks as if I know some HTML encoding, but its all "fake" - I nab the editing/formatting effects from writer2epub. I'm quite curious what WordPerfect's own epub add-on can add to the bag of tricks afforded by writer2epub.
The advantage of doing it like this, is that you can do more before you have passed through the arduous school or learning to encode HTML's -- although you have to do that some time, I know that full well. You can do I few things you know how to do with your word processor, but not yet with Sigil.
