One additional note, due to a really weird quirk in Word (that causes lawyers' blood pressure to rise exponentially when they encounter it):
A "numbered list" and a "multilevel list" look very much the same on the page. The underlying XML code, however, is not — and the "numbered list" (very common in numbered-paragraph legal pleadings) is on the visible first part of the ribbon, but the "multilevel list" (necessary to maintain numbering when copying between documents) is nowhere on the ribbon at all and has to be customized into the ribbon. (Plus Word is actively hostile to the two most-common numbering systems used in legal and government documents, but maybe that's on purpose.)
I've had a lot more success with Word documents (.doc and .docx), and even similar documents originating in LibreOffice, by saving them as HTML in Word/LibreOffice, then running a garbage-stripper on the HTML file before importing into Calibre. It's an extra step that saves lots and lots of time, and preserves the actual numbering scheme.
