The solution to your problem was actually in the error message. You can open any html in Sigil that is derived from a Word doc(filtered html), Word docx(filtered html), AbiWord html, ODF html or even Google Doc html using the following simple procedure in Sigil.

* Open Sigil 0.9.7 and go to Edit > Preferences > General. Then set Mend XHTML Source Code on: to Open and save.

* Now if you open your Word filtered html doc in Sigil you should have no problems. Sigil 'mends' the html by replacing the XMLNS header with the correct version for the epub standard.
