Alternatively, convert the book with Calibre to RTF, open the RTF file with Word and save it as a .doc file.
I tried this already and it was really not much better than using the RTFD or DOC files generated by Storyist - which is from before the finish formatting in Sigil.

I don't have any issue getting the actual book text in Word (actually OpenOffice) but in preserving the formatting from Sigil.

In the end it might not be all that valuable anyway. I'm still trying to come up with a workflow for this that let's me format using the page size, gutter and margins needed for CreateSpace as well.
