ePub validation error: 'element "span" not allowed here'

Hello!

I'm trying to get a book published through Smashwords. I uploaded my MS Word .doc file and they spit back out an .epub file that I then ran through threepress.org's ePub validator, which produced the following 2 errors:

ERROR: sticky-readers-how-to-attract-a-loyal-blog-audience-by-writing-more-better(1).epub/tmp_0ef15818eaef2a2b1275c26c15e54ab4_U5NhAs.ch.fix ed.fc.tidied.stylehacked.xfixed_split_010.html(138 ): element "span" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "address", "blockquote", "del", "div", "dl", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "hr", "ins", "noscript", "ns:svg", "ol", "p", "pre", "script", "table" or "ul" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")

So my question is, how do I locate lines 138 and 139 and in which file, so I can see the HTML they are talking about? I'm assuming they are referring to the xfixed_split_010.html file that I don't have access to. Or do I?

Thanks,
Margaret
