Make a copy of your Word file. Remove every single bit of formatting from it so you basically have a text file loaded into Word. Then fix the formatting using styles. So not do anything to format the book that isn't done with a style. And remember, when you use the same formatting multiple time, use the same style for each instance. The mess your eBook is in now will take you a lot longer to fix then to start the formatting over with Word and do it correctly with styles.

Not only is your HTML a horror, so is your CSS. Starting over is the easiest solution. You have too many things wrong in the CSS that once you clean up the HTML, you still have a lot of work to do with the CSS.
