I am totally overwhelmed by too much information. I need to find out how to do some basic conversion of a document in Microsoft Word and eventually end up in an ePub format. The suggestion is to make it into a PDF which has been accomplished but the formatting falls apart when translated into ePub. I cannot find simple information without being overwhelmed with other capabilities of Acrobat, 99.5% of which I have absolutely no use for. Does anyone have an idea of where to search out such specific information?
I really do not need to create multimedia collaborative documents. My head is spinning with too much technology and too little specific information.

Perhaps a Google search using "convert ms word to ePub" and "convert PDF to ePub" would provides some useful leads.
I suspect that a MS Word to ePub path may be smoother than a PDF to ePub path. PDF is, by its design, intended to be an "end-point" format.
You may want to review the documentation for Calibre (free, open source application) to determine if it will facilitate what you want to accomplish.
Regardless, some study will be called for.
Thanks for your reply. What I have found is a very helpful document on smashwords.com that explained the process. My advice had been to convert the document to PDF first which is not at all what you should do. Your description of PDF as an an endpoint format is well taken.I suspect that a MS Word to ePub path may be smoother than a PDF to ePub path.

I do have Calibre and that works but does not result in a fully desirable output although it is readable.

Hi,
It's not really a "converter", but Adobe InDesign import .DOC files and export as PDF and ePub file formats…
