I did try and download Toxaris's Word Macro but unfortunately my antivirus spat the dummy (pacifier) and wouldn't allow it. I haven't gone back so far to try again.
Using Word is probably the worst way of doing things but at least I am on familiar ground with it, and at least now that I have Abbyy 12 and the ScanSnap the many hours have been cut down enormously. It actually doesn't take too long to proof in Word and I am keeping a list of common S&R - particularly annoying things like quotation marks and apostrophe's, and the dreaded 0 vs O, 1 instead of l etc.
At one point I was using Atlantis which can convert from a word document to an EPUB, but I found that if there were drop caps etc then Calibre did a better conversion from docx to EPUB and/or Mobi.
I don't have Sigil - I didn't think I could master it very well since I can't code or figure out even basic regex (much as I would like to be able to do this).
As far as the stats go, I am going to record the time taken and the word count, and probably whether there were any pictures etc which slow things up with the formatting.
Your samples look good! However, I have developed a deep aversion to PDF as a format after all the slaving I have done to convert from it.
