Thanks for your help, Dave.
If you have the source in Word creating a PDF in Word then using that for the source of a conversion is asking for trouble. Either save the document as html (filtered) or RTF and use either one as the source to convert to mobi. PDF should never be an intermediate format for conversions and if possible PDF should be avoided as a source for any conversion.
