While not blaming word the html it creates is intended for browsers, not ePub. In this respect AWP is better. AWP will also build a HTML file if you wish and that file is similar to the one word does which is not nearly as clean as what the ePub file looks like.

I really liked the HTML file that was produced by Word 97 but since this it has gotten much worse in my opinion. My Word 2002 starts the file by including CSS entries for every type of font that I have on my system whether or not they are in the document. In addition it specifies all font sizes in actual points all over the document even when they are the same sizes which is a pain to fix. Yes, if you use styles everywhere you can use a search and replace regex to fix the resultant file of most of these oddities and a bunch of others but AWP ePub does a much cleaner job as I already posted earlier. Yes you can still make a garbage file by using a word processor as a typewriter instead of a word processor but it is surprising what AWP can do to clean things up even if you didn't use styles.
