Necessary, of course not. But they give information about what is going on. For example you know what type of quotation marks are checked. I will look into an option to turn these off or lessen them.

The procedure is to mark them out as smallcaps. If you already made all your smallcaps, the procedure is not required. However, OCR processes are not always that good in recognizing smallcaps. During the export, the smallcaps are set within a span with a class. By default that class is 'scaps', but you can name it anyway you want (Settings --> HTML Export). So, as long as you have that class in your stylesheet, they are retained already. If not, also not a problem, you just need to add that class to your stylesheet yourself.

I will add an option to the naming convention to keep the original Word filename as an addition to the other options.
As for the other request... That was already in the previous version(s). In the Settings --> ePUB settings there is an option to prefill the author and title from the metadata of the document, aka the document properties.

I would expect that the paragraphs would retain their style (my Normal Style) but they dont, in fact I cant figure out what happens, I do see that I get empty paragraphs where there were none, (which for me are a no-no), and I lose the paragraph formatting in respect of the first line indent and the 6pt after spacing. It's made worse by the fact that I can't 'fix' it, by re-applying my Normal style.

See attached zip - it contains before and after DOCX files.

I will see what is going on. The empty paragraphs should absolutely not happen, so I will for sure investigate. That is very strange. The procedure does nothing with styling, but Word sometimes does strange things with styling when you remove a paragraph mark if the styling is not consistent (even if it looks exactly the same). Re-applying your normal style should fix it. However, sometimes you need to apply the style twice in a row. No idea why.
I will check your example and see if I can trace what happens there. Since normally during the export the first line indent and the spacing is ignored anyway, it is normally not a big issue. I do understand that sometimes it can be, especially if you want to retain the original Word document.
