Hi Perkin - I've had a frustrating time trying to produce a short test file for you. I have attached one, but it's actually behaving OK re fonts/font scaling, when read on iBooks. And I can’t tell whether it’s giving the ‘usual’ problems in either Kobo or Stanza. It’s appearing in them as blank pages. Darned if I know why. Maybe both those readers expect something with more pages.

I did, this morning, load the full version of my original problem book into iBooks for the first time. Damned thing behaved perfectly! Yet the exact same file still has the fonts/font scaling issues I've been talking about, in Kobo and Stanza.

Let me know what you make of the trial file that's attached to this post. Incidentally, I answered 'Yes' in the dialogue box that came up in Word 2003 when I saved as Web Page Filtered. This dialgue is also attached to this post.

I'll have a go at your initial ‘save from Word as RTF’ suggestion this afternoon.
