Sure, I also think that this is the best procedure, Eradicate. "Tag soup" alone can be solved with TransTools, which is a free software. However, since you have to work hard on formatting, it's much advisable to do everything in advance and import the Word file duly formatted into Studio. I believe there is no problem if the PDF is a plain (text-only) document without tables or anything else. I did a test with a medium-size PDF file with bullets and some tables and did not become impressed with the final result.
