Thanks for all the advice, I really appreciate it.

The answer to my original question is then that I cannot effectively filter or clean up a HTML file published by doing File > Publish To > HTML in WordPerfect. I must bypass the instruction in the Sigil tutorial to import a HTML file derived from a word processor (after cleaning this HTML file up).

In stead of importing a HTML file created with WordPerfect, I could simply copy text from a WordPerfect document and paste it into the Sigil editing window. Do you mean copy and paste the text in its WordPerfect-formatted state? Or should the WordPerfect document first be saved as a .txt file, and this .txt file then be opened with Wordpad, before the text is copied and pasted into Sigil?

I don’t understand “Learn enough css to make paragraphs look the way you want”. What is meant by “css”?

I will now bypass the instruction in the Sigil tutorial, read further, study your advice, and see how it goes. Thanks again for helping me so well.
