After searching the forum and trying many suggestions, I have found 2 good methods for converting an epub to a word doc.

htmlz method

Use Calibre to convert epub to htmlz
Unzip htmlz file
Import into Word or LibreOffice
Break links to embed the images

Sigil Method

Unzip the epub file
Use Sigil to merge split files
Make sure "add semantics" -> cover is unchecked or the epub will be broken in Calibre
Use a text editor to change the header to pure HTML and set UTF-8.
Import into Word or LibreOffice
Break links to embed the images

I had the best results with first method. Note that htmlz is just a zipped html file. If you have trouble importing the html file in word/LO, you can try opening it in Google Chrome and doing a "save page as" -> "website, complete ".
