Try saving it as a PDF in Word and see what that looks like, if it has a similar border, find out why and fix it in Word. IMO it's always better to resolve problems in the manuscript copy rather than fixing them within conversion or by editing the epub code.

Thanks for the reply! Checking the page color/background/hilighting was actually the first thing I tried. Your suggestion made my try changing it to something else, though, and it turns out it's definitely an issue in my formatting; the white boxes show up in Word, too.

THAT lead me to some new internet searches and eventually I found a macro someone made that fixes the problem! (https://forums.windowssecrets.com/sh...e-highlighting in case someone in the future has this issue.)

So you didn't really give me a solution, but you sure helped a lot! Thanks.
