I though the previous discussions on my ebook had solved my epub book errors, but on updating the epub version of my book via Smashwords Switch, the epubcheck tool (at
http://validator.idpf.org/application/validate) failed my epub version giving me multiple errors (see attached screenshot). The four errors for each split html file are always the same, namely text, link, vlink and dir. I have included the code for split_001.html segment to show the code as written:
Code:

</body>
</html>
BTW, the Calibre epub version of this code also failed epubcheck verification. I also opened the original .doc in Open Office 4.1.6 and saved as to html but had the same errors.
Any help as to how to get an epub book uploaded without errors PLEASE!
Thanks in advance (again),
Andy
