[Athen] EPUB to Word utility

[via athen-list]

Dear All,
 
Sorry for cross posting.
 
I thought folks here would be interested in this functionality.
 
The WordToEPUB add-in for Word, which is freely available from the DAISY
Consortium, also has a EPUB to Word function.
 
After installing WordToEPUB:

When on Windows File explorer, and being on a EPUB file, the context menu
will show EPUB to word. This will launch the utility. I tested with simple
documents and with more complex publications. I also tested with EPUB that
has MathML. It worked great.
 
I did have a fail with a title that had videos.
 
Also, WordToEPUB has the Word to HTML functionality.
 
Of course, the WordTOEPUB produces great, clean EPUB.
 
I thought there were a variety of functions for this. It might be easier to
fix alt text or add long descriptions to a Word docx and then remake the
EPUB. Also, having it in Word could allow for other functions.
 
I tested with EPUB from Bookshare.
