I will go google & search on ligatures as you are often annoyingly correct. meantime I've sent the file to amazon to send to my kindle to see how their conversion software gets on

Well, excuse me for saying so, but those are, as I said, ligatures. Look it up. I'm not that firm on typography, but I imagine your document is either badly laid out or it is not usual to contract every possible occurence into a ligature.
Also, only because Kovid said that Calibre would automatically convert those, doesn't mean it does that absolutely correct in every case- maybe you found a bug. Or, maybe, you ticked "keep ligatures" in the layout options.
Anyway, I'm going to shut up now before I annoy you further. Good luck in solving your issue.
