How to make an ebook from a Microsoft Word document?

-

hi everyone.

 

i'm newbie , starting feel lost.

 

ultimately main question how make publish-worthy ebook (pdf? epub?  mobi?) out of word document.

 

i'm pretty @ doing don't know how do. when friend asked me make ebook out of 250 page microsoft word document sell online, thought couldn't hard.  i'm thinking naieve.

 

i have new microsoft word 2013 preview installed , used new feature save .docx .pdf.  it's nothing fancy.  it's 99.5% text, large graphic on coverpage, , maybe 1 or 2 small graphics @ various places.  wasn't aiming being perfect work of art.  wanted make sure decently formatted , readable.

 

i *assume* (please correct me if i'm wrong) pdf file read ereaders.   downloaded indesign trial thinking open pdf in indesign (wrong) , there make few adjustments, resave pdf, , save in epub , .mobi formats.  it's not simple.  surprise, indesign can't open pdf file.  ("cannot open file... may not support file format, plug-in supports file format may missing..." or "please convert ...... indesign document before adding book file.")

 

i'll try @ of tutorials mentioned in these forums.  haven't done homework dilligently yet.  in meantime, if shed light on me that'd tremendously appreciated.

 

thanks tips!
