I've Word 2003, but I've used Libre Office Writer for the last approx 7 years. Edit in odt, but an extra Save As in docx for Calibre.
I've made mobi, 2 kinds palm doc, LRF, azw3/KF8, epub etc with Calibre. With the proper styles in Word (or LO Writer) I don't need to edit the HTML/CSS at all. I import the docx to Calibre and make an epub2. I then delete the imported copy of docx and make all other formats in Calibre from the epub2.
Was using Word for Windows from maybe 1992 and making ebooks from 2006.
Older Sonys don't have epub, but if your Sony eReader has the epub format it's superior.
You can import Word doc or docx to LO Writer, but then you need to fix headings, styles etc and should only re-edit an odt version, doing an extra Save As in docx for Calibre. The docx format, if styled correctly, works better than odt or doc or RTF for Calibre input.
Also LO Writer and Calibre are on Mac, Windows and Calibre. I still have Word 2003, Word 2002/XP and Word 2007, but they are all inferior for ease of use of styles and document navigation compared to LO Writer. The only reason now to use MS Word is if you are daily collaborating on documents with other Word users.
I do read epub on a Sony PRS-350, but I think the previous model had to be sent to Sony to get epub compatible upgrade and the models before that are LRF only based.
Calibre from epub2 is the best way to to make an LRF now.
