OK, read the tutorial you showed me and to be honest its way over my head. I have had a look at the page struction detection section on calibre and found out where the problem is. below is a section of the PDF file I am currently working on

When you're just about to be really<br>
mean to someone you love, you could stop and do this. And with<br>
<hr>
<A name=28></a><i>26 Using Your Brain</i><br>
the look that's on your faces right now, who knows what you<br>
could get into . . . .all kinds of fun trouble!<br

Basically the whole line <A name=28></a><i>26 Using Your Brain</i><br> is at the top of a page and its the page number and chapter title, this is on the top of every page but the A name= changes number every time in increments of one.
Because the software doesnt realise this is the page number and chapter title it is adding it into the text of the book which is obviously a tad annoying.

Can anyone tell me how I can tell calibre to either ignore the <A name=28></a><i>26 Using Your Brain</i><br> or tell it that this is a page header and so to just put it at the top of the page in smaller txt instead of in the middle of a sentance???

Please help as this is a problem on many of the PDF's I have and its really bugging me that I cant fix it. (I can fix it buy going into a PDF editor and manually removing each page number etc) but as you can imagine, this is a painfully slow process and when I have loads of PDF's to do its not really practical.

Cheers

Dave
