No guarantee that it works properly with all ePubs ...
This ^ is really the ONLY way to do it. Believe me, I've tried every single way under the sun. If all you need is a quick-n-dirty, for someone to proof some test or something, Calibre with Prince plugged in (and licensed) is the way to do that, but if you need any of the niceties, then this method is the only one that works.

You can also do this with Word--in step 3. Just open the HTML file with Word. You can then save as, use DOCX, and then open it in Publisher, or INDD, or whichever.
