I would NOT continue to use those folks, and quite honestly, you should manually clean your first 5+ files, because you will learn loads that you will NOT learn any other way.
And/or you could just not use that crappy word2html site.

If you are using Word, I highly recommend installing and using Toxaris's EPUB Tools. That is THE BEST way to output clean EPUBs directly from Word.

No need to send your files through some third party site (who knows what they do with that data).

His plugin also come with a lot of helpful tools (like Dialogue Check, which is the absolute best way to catch mismatching quotation marks).

I also highly recommend learning how to use Styles in Word:

That change alone will save you A TON of headaches in the future, and your documents will be a hell of a lot better for it.
