Thanks Hitch. Very enlightening and clarifying for me - big AHA!.

Yes - only by viewing the files on iPad. Having seen your post, I've now looked at the files in Adobe Digital Editions and see the difference. Those paras don't align left in ADE but ADE adds return (line space) after every paragraph break.

FWIW, iBooks also ignores all the page-break: element controls, or widows or orphans.

Aha. Thanks, I'd love to try that. Being a newbie to code... where EXACTLY do I place that code? Is it on every page or on every paragraph? And what EXACTLY should the added code be - how should it read? Should I post a full page of code so you can see and advise?

I believe it does, thanks. I hadn't thought of the device being the issue. Interesting how the different readers render the same file in such different ways. However, the book looks dreadful with the left alignment on those pages so my preference would be to minimise the risk of that happening by adding the code you suggest.
(Btw, I just posted what I understood I was asked to post.)
Many thanks for help.
