Template
I made up a custom template, with all the formatting in place.
Each style is separate. Title, Author, Heading 1 (Chapter Number/Name), Any Poem or something like in between the chapters (example: The Bible Quote at the Beginning of Twilight).
I also set set up a style for the internal part of the Chapters, named it Regular.
So not all that hard or time-consuming to do the cut/paste.
The italics are always showing after I do the paste. I do a search for italicized characters to make sure they are there.
The reason I don't directly convert the LIT files, etc, is because I want to edit them before I put them into Calibre. And I want to keep a backup copy of the docx file, just in case, after I do the Calibre convert. Once I make sure I have a good epub copy, I will be deleting the docx files.
I attached a PDF copy of my template, since I couldn't get the docx to upload. Each different kind of line has its own style, and the text I paste in replaces the matching spaceholder line. So it doesn't take long, just a few minutes to paste all the chapters from a moderate-sized book.
