@sergio, (sorry to have to quote myself above)
...not the DropCaps after all. I've investigated further, the thing Word doesn't like in the CSS file seems to be the 4 occurrences of:
Code:
page-break-inside:avoid;
If you remove them from the CSS file then the HTML file should open in Word WYSIWYG mode without an error. I only included these recently to try to avoid things like single poetry verses splitting across pages on the reader.
Of course I can't guarantee anything as we're using different Word versions.
There are a few cautionary notes if you are intending to do multiple open/save cycles of the .htm file in Word WYSIWYG mode. I'll elaborate further if it becomes necessary.
You should not have these problems if you are only ever going to open the HTML file in Word text-editor mode, however this has its own challenges with non-ascii chars as you may discover soon enough.
Anyway, enough for now.
