I know BD is very old now but it is my best friend when it comes to formatting my lrf books and I prefer it to Calibre.

If anyone can help me out that would be absolutely wonderful.
I would not bother with BookDesigner. I would install Calibre and maybe Sigil. Calibre can convert your Word document to ePub and Calibre and Sigil can let you edit the ePub. But when you are editing your Word document, you really should use styles. Do not highlight and use the toolbar to add styles. That's all wrong and will make your Word document a mess.

I don't know of anyone who uses BookDesigner. Most use Calibre and maybe Sigil.
