I&#39;ve found that the problem is instantly fixed by saving the offending Word doc as an Open Office html file and using the latter as your master.<br /><br />Luca, you might be right.

I agree that you need to clear all Word formatting out as a first step. The Smashwords style guide (free) was a great resource to understand the Word to Adobe conversion, as well as the whole ebook formatting process. I knew about Open Office and will now be giving it a good look.Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982018612399644979.post-85236543198771452212011-10-01T17:24:15.299-07:002011-10-01T17:24:15.299-07:00Alan, thanks for the advice - it&#39;s the tabs in...Alan, thanks for the advice - it&#39;s the tabs in Word causing the problem i think, so Open Office sounds ideal. no more quietly pushing the release date back hopefully! so shaming.eva dolanhttp://loiteringwithintent.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982018612399644979.post-80890447032706497882011-10-01T16:37:25.974-07:002011-10-01T16:37:25.974-07:00Thanks for the kind words, DMan.

There&#39;s no question its equivalent of Word produces much cleaner code than Word does. And happy swearing!<br /><br />Eva, most formatting issues seem to stem from a single root cause, which is not clearing the formatting in the first instance. You need to prune all the Word crap out by removing its fancy formatting. Open Office will do this without losing text formatting such as italics, bold, etc. Another reason to prefer it. Drop me a line if you have a specific problem -- no guarantees, but I may have encountered it myself and have found a solution. I like the name for the guerilla group. Much better than the Wankers.Allan Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180691451683542466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982018612399644979.post-19147670641951591912011-10-01T15:51:47.358-07:002011-10-01T15:51:47.358-07:00also having formatting issues so thanks for the Op...also having formatting issues so thanks for the Open Office suggestion &amp; the reality check on what i should expect for daily sales!<br /><br />re.

Can&#39;t believe so many a**holes exist out there. Who would take the time to open an account just to post a review that is mindless?
