Sorry, I am so new to this, and there are so many steps....

Yes.
To make code readable (to humans), HTML allows white-space in the code to make it easy to read. You could code an entire document without returns and it would still renders the same in a browser.
NBSP's are NOT ignored, set your insert point at a problem (paragraph), then switch to CV and see what is there.
Conversion can make a hash out of poorly coded sources. GIGO still applies
