Tip: - the class names you mention, "calibre1", "calibre13" etc suggest the epubs come from conversion. If they were created from well-formed DOCX files with meaningful style names you could use the Mammoth converter and retain the Word template styles, including the names in the epub's css classes.

It's not point and click like calibre's conversion, you have to define the mapping between the Word template and the Style sheet. Only worth doing if the DOCX makes proper use of styles to control formatting, but if the DOCX is full of in-line styling then not worth the effort.

The Sigil editor has a plugin that wraps around Mammoth - with a little bit of care you can edit a Sigil created epub with the calibre editor and vice versa.
