Question Epub help

I used Indesign to convert a children's book into a fixed-layout Epub. I used Calibre to edit it page by page. This is going to be a read-along epub. I have the audio all done and marked in the epub and I have to work on putting everything together, I am having a few issues.

1. Calibre took the first letter if the first word in a paragraph and separated it form the rest of the word. Now that letter is smaller than the rest of the word and looks strange. I don't know Css well enough to fix the problem.

2. I set up the recommended viewport of each page to 2048 px wide and 1536 px long. This was recommended because of the variety of sizes of IPads. Calibre kept doing very strange things like not using graphic scenes for the pages and replacing them with other scenes. I decided after fixing the order many times to switch to Dreamweaver which seems to be working out. However, I am wondering why the dimension of the scenes supposedly have huge dimensions in the code like 3600x 3700 but appear to fit just fine,

3. On one page there was a misspelled word.. When I corrected it, it stuck to the next word and I couldn't get a space between them.

These kind of errors are making me crazy because I want to get done with this already so I can work on the code for the audio.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Janis
