I have purchased ePub from Kobo when they were Shortcovers. I've never had an issue with page numbers showing up.

But when you are editing the ePub to fix the formatting, you don't need to load them into Word. The best thing to do is edit the CSS and that will fix most of the formatting problems (if not all). What I do is load the various files into Notepad++ along with the CSS and see what styles are used where so I can then go to the CSS and fix what needs fixing. Notepad++ supports tabs so I can load multiple files at the same time. I can even search/replace all the loaded files at the same time.
