But Word to epub? Really? How obsessive does a Wordster have to be, with Styles and such, to get a good result exporting via the plug-in?
So sorry not to support a version over 15 years old... It supports Office 2007 and even that is 9 years old... It uses features not available in Word in the older versions, so I cannot even port it even if I want to.

Yes, Word to ePUB. You don't even have to be obsessive to find it useful. It will create a good ePUB with clean HTML (even if you don't use styles), will split on headers, handles tables, lists, footnotes and basic formatting (more formatting if you use styles). You can create the ePUB and after creation automatically start up Sigil of Calibre editor to further process. It saves a lot of time cleaning up and produces much better results than the Word2CleanHtml online. And yes, I have checked that.

It has many, many more options and exporting to ePUB is just one of them and not even the most important one. Even if you don't find the addin and this option useful, others do.
To each its own.
