As for the different versions of Word, when you select the doc-format, it doesn’t matter whether you’re using Word 2003, 2007, or 2010.
I couldn't track where this came from, but that's not true.
The later ones, 2007 and 2010, can read the earlier ones and load them in a "compatibility mode".
Earlier versions cannot read .docx from 2007 on. So if you want everyone to be able to read the word doc, you must put them in 2003.
I guess I don't really understand why the simple reader, not an editor, needs elaborate document tracking and a detailed TOC. You don't have that in a book. If you forgot something in the plot as a reader, a simple word search is adequate, IMHO.
Hope I'm helping and not confusing the issues.

P.S. Having thought a little longer, I see where epub doesn't care what version of word originated it, but Word to Word, my statement holds.
