Dunno, I've never had trouble. Everything validates on the first go. Think the worst problem I had was an out-of-proportion cover.

I use MS Word on my Mac, and have no problems whatsoever. Pretty easy to get through to premium catalog if you just follow their directions and setup your template/styles in advance. I am skeptical of the "very few" statement since most of the authors that I have spoken with have no problems making it through.
