If you used OpenOffice/LibreOffice Writer, it should be able to Save As a .docx file. I don't understand why you're trying to do it from ePub,
And you might want to investigate Pandoc, a cross platform toolkit for format conversions.

Hi Dennis. Good to see you.
I started in .odt in LibreOffice. I converted it there to a .html. Then I put the html into Kate text editor and cleaned it up. From there I put the .html into Sigil. I could use the .odt but the thing is over the course of going over the mss. in Sigil I made changes that would not be in the .odt. So I must start with the .epub. And yes, the LibreOffice will save as a .docx.
I will investigate the Pandoc. Thanks.
One last thought. It seems Calibre preserves the formatting (and doesn't add to it) in a .html>.docx conversion, but to do that I'd have to convert 33 chapters (33 .html files) and then copy and paste into a .docx file. In other words, a lot of work. Whereas when I just do the .epub>.docx I'm done.
