Definitely faster to load and edit. Will see what it looks like in Sigil after I finish editing it.
uh...

Well, I was going to suggest using Toxaris's amazing ePUBTools plugin for Word. You can then tag all the italics and bold, throughout (and underscores, if used), first.

Then cTRL-A and remove all the inline styling and then restore the italics, bold and underscores, throughout.

I suggest creating a main body style and applying that, BEFORE you restore the italic/bold, etc. and then you're 95% of the way home.

I've used it for just this purpose--cleaning up horrid old files--for years and it's the Best. Thing. EVAH.

Seriously.
