I do not know anything about selling e-books, since I create them for my own pleasure and some others. However, I do know that you do not want to come near to Smashwords...
You upload your Word document and puts it through their product called Meatgrinder and boy, what a fitting name. You never end up with a product you would like (especially with your wishes) and tons of errors. And, don't forget, no change of fixing those in the ePUB.
Just do a quick search here on Smashwords and/or Meatgrinder...
I heard that they apparently now also allow upload of ePUB, but I would not trust them with it.
