I use Mobipocket Creator as my default PDF converter. I always convert the prc it creates to epub rather than the HTML. I have no evidence that it would make a difference in this case but it could be worth trying.

Why do I convert the prc and not the html. My default viewer for prc is the Calibre Reader, my default viewer for HTML is Firefox. By opening the prc I can get a better idea of what the Epub will look like after conversion - if its 'good enough' then I drag it into the calibre book details panel.

If the prc is not 'good enough', then I try alternative converters - Hamster, Nitro PDF/Word, Calibre itself... sometimes I give up.

BTW - what's unison 'got to do with it' - I assume you're referring to the file synch tool.

We could get rid of the Blue: color: black;
We could get rid of the underline: text-decoration: none;

but they are still Anchors

The real question, is WHY they converted to Anchors in the first place?
How do you know they are Anchors - in the sense that they are clickable-on to navigate to somewhere.

It may be that the text is simply colored blue and underlined - the sticky note gadget I use behaves similarly in certain circumstances - its easily overcome - so I stick with the gadget
