Toxaris's Tools handle export out of Microsoft Word it quite well. From there, it should only require minor cleanup.

You want to make the EPUB step your VERY FINAL step. For example, do not make the EPUB, do all of this work tweaking the book to your satisfaction, and THEN find many typos/changes that you must fix in the book.
This will double your workload (fix/changes in EPUB, and fix/changes in the original DOC). Make sure that you have a finalized copy of your book BEFORE the EPUB conversion step.
