Do you know of ANY (easy) way to extract the final text of the revised Word file? I mean...if I had to, I would
  • take the kpf
  • convert it to ePUB (Calibre);
  • open that in Sigil;
  • Combine/merge the HTML files;
  • Save.
  • Unzip the resulting ePUB,
  • grab the HTML file, and,
  • Finally, open that in Word (and save as docx).

I mean...that's a long way around, but generally, it should work (although you'd end up with Calibre interpretations of your styles, but you could reformat the Word file).

Do you see any reason that that can't work?

Since you already have the ePub in calibre, it would be easier to use the Calibre editor. And once it's finished, you can use Calibre to convert to HTML and then load that into Word.

How does Word handle HTML with CSS? Does it create styles from the CSS?
