Yes, but Steve Jordan has full contol of the source and he knows that he will transform it to different ebooks formats so in that case the source ought to be consistently formatted.

And in the best case it should not be a Word document at all since it is very unsuitable as a source format.

My point is that if you write in a suitable format (for example a simple text file with simple markup) you will for free get correct eBooks without much work.
