I don't know how to "attach" a template. I just paste the incoming text where it should go. For example, I put the text of Chapter 2 after the formatted heading for Chapter 2.
I'll try saving the docx file before I do any editing, and see if that makes any difference.
The strange part is that it's only happening on a couple book files out of over a dozen.

I was referring to the Word Template you said you used - you should see a list of them when you create a new document - Alt+F/N

If you don't specifically attach one, then I guess you'll be using Blank - I think that's Normal.docm (.docm is a extension for template files). But let's put that aside for now.
When you copy a block of text that contains italics, are the italics a) always pasted into your Word document, or b) is it always plain text that's pasted, or c) do they sometimes get pasted as italics and sometimes not?
Q. Why not convert the LIT files directly to EPUB in calibre. According to
this list LIT is the best format from which to convert.
And even though PDF is the worst, there are a number of alternative conversion paths one of which will often produce a reasonable result - there's a Sticky at the top of the Calibre/Conversion sub-forum that suggests alternatives.
Cut and paste sounds like a lot of effort.
