Ebook Viewer cutting off the first 1 or 2 characters
I've been searching the forum, without success, and hope someone can help me. I converted Mastering the Art Of French Cooking from azw3 to epub using Calibre 1.6. I had already removed the DRM. When I bring the epub copy up in Ebook Viewer on my PC (Windows 7 64bit), the first two characters are cut off. I'm attaching a screen snip.
A copy/paste of the same information has all the characters: 1 tsp salt ⅛ tsp freshly ground pepper ¼ tsp ground thyme or sage ⅛ tsp ground bay leaf Pinch of allspice I'm a Calibre newbie when it comes to margins etc. so please be specific if there is a setting I should change. |

You may NOW have a Negative margin
Might be caused by stripping a Block quote on a Hanging indent (negative text-indent) |

@theducks
Thanks for the response but I have no idea where to look for the problem you mentioned, the syntax that would cause the problem or how to fix it. |

Disable remove fake margins in the structure detection section of the conversion dialog.

Solved
Removing the fake margins did the trick. Thanks so much! I would never have figured that out on my own.
