Actually, if you are interested in converting the document into epub, maybe you can skip the second step and directly convert html to epub. [Edit]. I am attaching epub document made by Word -> html -> epub (using any2epub).
thank you ! that works ! still requires some cleanup but a LOT less than before !

i won't skip the second step though because word makes truly abominable code and i'd rather avoid using it as my source when possible.
