<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I thought folks here would be interested in this functionality.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The WordToEPUB add-in for Word, which is freely available from the DAISY Consortium, also has a EPUB to Word function.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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
