Use Sigil. It simplifies matters greatly. You just need to put the text in and it will handle all the references. But it takes some knowledge of the process.
However, since you don't seem to know a lot of html or css, you might consider Atlantic Word Processor or Jutoh, which will allow you to work in a word processor and then when you are happy with it, publish the work to an epub.
CSS formatting will not stop the reader from changing the size of the text and thereby changing the page.
If you are a Windows user and a user of Word of recent vintage, Toxaris has made an add on which will create a basic epub from the word document.
Pablo has a tutorial on the website which covers basic epub and if you read the Sigil documentation, you might get an idea of how things go.
If you just want to convert some text to an epub, you can use calibre. It functions well, but it puts in a lot of its own formatting which is not so easy to understand for editing after conversion. It makes guesses where your chapters are and so, which are adjustable.
