Secondly--if you're cleaning up the file in Word and, presumably, using Styles and headings in so doing, why aren't you simply exporting the file as filtered HTML and then putting it into Sigil? Rather than pasting plain text and having to add in italics, bold, etc.? That's...well.

I've seen code form Word where it would have been very much easier to add back in the formatting by hand. The code from Word was that bad.
I agree that not many people use styles and for making an eBook, that is important. You write your book, send it off to be converted to an eBook. The person making the eBook spends a long time fixing it and converting and gets it looking good. Then you g and make a number of changes in different places and you send the file over to again be converted. You are then making it a reall hardship for the person making your eBook as that person has to (once again) recreate the eBook from your mess. That's not being nice at all.
