I was stoked when I saw that Calibre would now convert from DOCX files to EPUB format. I was previously using MS Office 2010, and saving as "web page, filtered" took mere seconds to complete. When I "upgraded" to Office 2013, this now takes MANY MINUTES (sometimes 10, 15 or more minutes) to save the same file in the same format.

I would like to save my Word files in DOCX format since my files look like they'll generally only take up half the size of saving in DOC format, so I can use less space backing them up, too.

The problem is, when I run the conversion from DOCX to EPUB, Calibre doesn't recognize the tabs at the beginning of paragraphs. Did I do something wrong? Shouldn't tabs be recognized? I'm guessing that an auto-indent will probably be recognized, but I'm in the long-time habit of using tabs.
