- All ids must begin with a letter.
- All filenames in content.opf or toc.ncx, like XHTML and CSS files, must begin with a letter.
- The mimetype file is case sensitive, it MUST be in all lowercase, with no byte order marker, and no carriage return at the end of the single line inside it.
- The mimetype file must not be compressed within the EPUB, and MUST be the first file. Only info-zip does this correctly ASFAIK.
- Just because an ereader can read your EPUB does not mean it will pass validation.
And last, the BookId value of the id attribute in content.opf is case sensitive. Here's a correct tag:
<dc:identifier id="BookId" opf:scheme="ISBN">1223456988</dc:identifier>

Can someone please write about how to fix these in MS Word format, not epub software, and NOT as if I can actually see this code (which I cannot) in my document?
Thanks.
