Just for clarification once you do a epub to epub conversion the file in calibre is over written. there is no new or old file in calibre.

Good directions just click to open in the book details panel then open the epub in Sigil.

It is interesting how often people seem to run into this. I have converted 2300+ books to epub and I have had maybe 1% of my books have margins set for the book. I have had another .5% that had weird margins for certain text of emphasis that I have had to adjust.

Those 2300+ books I have converted come from a wide variety of legitimate and questionable sources.

Bottom line is your advice will work fine if anyone runs into this problem.
