Hi Kevin.

Thanks for your attention and time. Not sure what to say about the "old mac" code. This is what Indesign CS4 gives me when I publish for electronic editions. It's styled with paragraph and character styles and they're pretty basic and few, 4 paragraph and one character (for italics). I'm not a deep code guy. I can deal with HTML and CSS and run the occasional script. That said maybe I need to just unzip the ePub file that InDesign outputs and noodle around in it with a text editor. It does seem like it must be something to do with my Mac OS if this isn't giving you any trouble and if I can't even see the display text (although i can see the text in code view and, as mentioned before, in the italics in display mode—so in display mode it's just large swaths of white with italics here and there). I could see the text in the display before I upgraded; kind of a randomly weird issue...
