I'm going to delve deeper into the tutorial. (I think I could get used to it.) Yeah, I need to give it some more thought and time. Thanks again.
I set the Default (Normal in MSO) style to whatever I type the book in (as noted previously I have paragraph spacing while I'm working and for print review, but remove it when I export to epub). I use various special (unindented) styles for all front and back matter (so that things centre properly), and of course separate styles chapter titles and emphasis etc..

I'm not sure what you mean about cleaning up the html - it should export with <p class="Style 1">...</p>. This is normal and expected. If you want to adjust the appearance in the epub you either adjust the style before export or you adjust the CSS in the epub. I have seen some epub creations that set the default style for p and remove the class="...", but there is no need, it might even be argued that an explicit class is better (since it is not clear exactly what the default paragraph style really refers to, and changes to the default may cascade to things you don't want it to change).
