CSS errors, particularly those for Center and Flush. The following is a sample of the CSS entry of my normal paragraph style:

.msonormal {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
text-indent: 0.25in;
margin: 0 0 0.0001pt

Then the styles that have gone off during conversion:

.center {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 0 0.0001pt

.flush {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
text-indent: 0;
margin: 0 0 0.0001pt
Given that your ePub came from a Word document, I would suggest you go through all the XML code and the CSS and hand fix things that are in need of being fixed. A margin of .0001 is just silly. A text indent of .25in is wrong. There could very well be other things that need fixing. So before you make your Kindle eBook from your ePub, first make sure your ePub is fixed properly. That does not mean to just make sure it's error free. It's to make sure it's error free, the formatting is correct, and the code is very neat.
