Everything works fine, including hyperlinks etc.

Only problem is images. I use a small image for scene breaks. They appear fine when I look at the html file. They are all centred.

In the conversion to mobi, they are all there, but have changed position and are now left justified.

What am I doing wrong?
Shazzyloulou - technically nothing, conversion is a complex issue, there are no wrong ways (well not many) but there are many alternatives.

Try saving your document as DOCX, calibre's built-in Conversion Input PI for DOCX is a bit better than either HTML or ODT. See What are the best source formats to convert?

You could also try the Open Office plugin Writer2ePub and then convert the EPUB it produces to MOBI
