Thanks: sorry to be thick but how do remove the additional paragraph breaks?

Henry:

This:

<p></p>

is a pair of paragraph TAGS. The one without the slash is the opening tag, and tells the renderer (browser, ebook reader, etc.) that whatever comes immediately after it is the BEGINNING of a new paragraph; the tag WITH the slash tells the renderer that it's the END of the paragraph. This is html 101.

You need to start here: http://www.w3schools.com and walk through their html "course"/tutorial. If you're attempting to use Sigil to edit an ePUB, when you don't know what a paragraph tag is, you are attempting to GALLOP before you have learnt to walk. Just because Calibre can turn something--anything, nearly--into an ePUB doesn't mean one doesn't need some basic markup language skills in order to edit it correctly. Despite Valloric's initial intent, Sigil is not really a "WYSIWYG" epub editor. You might be better off with Jutoh, which is probably a more familiar interface for you.
