The Calibre docx-to-epub converter generally produces excellent results.

Try the following:
  1. Save the book as a .docx file and convert it to an epub with Calibre.
  2. Right-click the book in Calibre, select Edit book and click the bug icon or press F7.
  3. Click Try to correct all fixable errors automatically
  4. Save the epub and open it with Sigil.
  5. Delete the existing HTML TOC.
  6. Select Tools > Table of Contents > Generate Table of Contents.
  7. Select Tools > Table of Contents > Create HTML Table of Contents.
  8. Check your book with the IDPF validator and post the results here, if you're getting error messages.
  9. Download KindleGen for Linux, compile the epub with it and post the results here, if you're getting error messages.
