I've worked out a multistep procedure to clean them up. Calibre converts the .docx to .azw3 and they display properly on the Paperwhite (TOC and all).
I've been using Calibre (and Sigil) for a while to make ebooks and I think it can do it pretty efficiently. Adding conversions to and from Word adds complications, I think.

But maybe my confidence is misplaced.

If it's a basic PDF, often these are print-to-PDF from a webpage; and since ebooks are basically HTML, if you can find the source web page that is a better place to start.

Could you give me link to the original PDF and website (send a PM if you'd rather not reveal your reading preferences)?

I'll butt out if you're happy with your method.

If you're still interested:
I didn't get a reply from the author, but the links on her web page are working again. Web site: http://www.pilmore.com/PubOther.htm (The Clan is the shortest of the stories).
