Smile you can set the conversion output in calibre

I've been doing all my formatting, bookmarking (anchors) and hyperlinking within Word, and I suspect what I'd need to do, is open up the HTML file, and remove any sort of justification tags that Word stuck in there. Does that seem right?
there's a setting in calibre look & feel where you can set the conversion output to 1 of 3 settings, original, left align or justify. you want justify. don't justify the .doc file.

by the way, for reformating, i use openoffice writer because calibre supports the .odt text format.

another thought, after my kindle 2 installed the 2.5,2 update a justified ebook displayed incorrectly with some lines not right justified (however most lines are displayed correctly, just some are not). perhaps this is the problem you are experiencing?
