What you should have done instead is exported it as an epub.
I don't have Word to see if that is an option, but LibreOffice certainly has that option.
The benefit is that it adds the tags around the paragraphs already, then when it imports into Calibre, you just need to do a bit of tidying up, mainly removing the naked <span> tags that do nothing.
But like others have said, you need to ensure you use Styles so all the styling for the various parts of the book are the same, otherwise you end up with a mess in the conversion with lots of different tags and css entries which becomes a nightmare to clean up, even trying to use regex.
