Have you considered using my Word add-in? It contains various tools and also enables you to create an ePUB directly from Word. The code it produces is clean in itself. If you want, the ePUB can be opened in Sigil automatically after being saved.


Or use the Import DOCX plugin for Sigil
Or convert the DOCX to EPUB via calibre (GUI or command line)
Or import the DOCX into the calibre book editor

Assuming you have Word 2007 or later, converting the DOCX via any of the above (including ePub Tools) is almost always a better place to start than Filtered HTML.

And there's a lot your friend can do in Word to make conversion easier. Such as : avoiding the use of 'white space' to align text (horizontally and vertically), and using Word Styles in an attached Template instead of inline styles.
