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.

I've learnt to avoid the use of tabs for horizontal spacing and extra paragraphs for vertical spacing, like the plague. So much so that before I save a document I seek out & deal with tabs (^t) and blank paragraphs (^p^p).
I make use of Word's template facility and styles - 10 minutes of learning made life a lot easier. There are a lots of templates you can download for free.
The simplest place to start maybe is to change your Normal paragraph style - see attachment.
