Pity that the same can't be said of modern Word files. My father asked me for help in converting a book he had written in Word to an EPUB. I opened it up in LibreOffice so that I could try to fix a few things like insert a proper ToC (he generated his by hand, and is constantly fiddling with the page numbers whenever he changes something). LO renders it well enough that I can see the intent, but there are formatting artifacts galore, and as soon as I start fiddling with anything, it seems like I've consigned it to a limbo state where it looks like crap in both LO and Word.
Regrettably, my personal devices are all Linux or Android only at this point, so, I lack a proper copy of Word to fix it for him.
If this is still an issue for you I believe you can convert/import docx files into ebooks via calibre, from there you can just use calibre's ebook editor to fix things up
