You might do better if you can export the PAGES document to DOCX rather than DOC and converting that to EPUB via calibre. DOCX ranks higher than HTML and RTF in Kovid Goyal's list of 'best' formats to convert (its in the User Manual FAQ). You probably need a fairly recent version of PAGES to get DOCX export, otherwise HTML is probably best. RTF is pretty low down in Kovid's list.

If you can get DOCX you might also want to try importing the DOCX into the calibre book editor, rather than converting. Supposedly it will preserve Word's Style Names in the CSS names. I'm not sure how relevant that is in a PAGES->DOCX->EPUB scenario.
