Keep in mind this input plugin is only for *.docx files not *.doc files.

I'm assuming the conversion is being done on a desktop?
Never use PDF as a step in converting between one format and another format. Read the sticky post at the top of the conversion forum titled "Read this before Posting PDF Questions" for more info.

There is a Open Office (or Libre Office) Writer2epub extension to save directly as an ePub from within the OO. I haven't used it but it may help you out. There is also a MobileRead forum dedicated to this extension.

Additionally one person worked through a batch process to convert doc to epub, read more about it here.
