If you're using Word 2003, or earlier, and you don't want to pay to upgrade to a later version, consider changing over to Libre Office (what was Open Office) but once again save as DOCX and convert that.

Which of the two DOCX formats that LibreOffice can output is best to use?
I changed from Word to LibreOffice Writer (on Windows) about 3 years ago, then a couple of years ago changed to Linux Mint which meant that though LibreOffice Writer could saveAs .doc, that Calibre wouldn't convert it. I changed to importing ODT into Calibre but had problems with first image sometimes being replaced by cover, kepub first line indent wrong (but epub fine) and line spacing sometimes being locked on ereader.
While em is logically a better choice for HTML and ebooks, I never had any trouble with "inches" or "points" on any ereader except Kobo using kepubs (epubs OK),
However Koval recommended to use docx to solve cover image problem. It doesn't seem to matter if I use MS docx or Open docx? Though I suppose for uploads to publisher I should use the MS docx? I have till now used MS 97-2003 .doc format from LibreOffice Writer for uploads.
