Converting Word-> HTML -> Epub
Have constructed a Wordfile it contains text and graphics, everything is in its place.
Save it out from Word as HTML, then put that through Calibre (Latest version 0.8.59) get it in the Calibre Epub viewer and it's a mess.

Some of the text and graphics are okay, but in other places text is misplaced and displays partly over graphics, and in some places the graphics are misplaced and are displayed partly over another graphic.

I've spent some time now playing with this problem, not only creating the HTML out of Word, but other apps, but the end result is the same.

FWIW. The HTML output file, loaded into various Browsers (Firefox and the other thing) all display correctly.

The messup problem only happens after the Calibre convert.
Any thoughts please?

Thanks
