The short answer is your header can be reduced to this:
<head>
<title>Philip Ogley</title>
</head>

That will fix your "link" problem. But you will have other errors due to Word inserting a bunch of Word specific tags such as "<o:></o>".

I would recommend saving your word document as "Web Page, Filtered" -OR- use Toxaris' Word plugin to clean up and save the file as an ePub. Then you can open it with Sigil, or Calibre Editor, to do final cleaning.
Ok,
Thanks, so I put that code in the bit where it says:

<head>
<meta name=Title content="Philip Ogley">
<meta name=Keywords content="">
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=macintosh">
<meta name=ProgId content=Word.Document>
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 10">
<meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Word 10">
<link rel=File-List href="Philip%20Ogley_files/filelist.xml">
<title>Philip Ogley</title>

The problem I have is that i'm using an old mac (word 2000) and a chromebook, neither of which are compatible with Sigil or Calibre. Plus I'm in the middle of nowhere in rural France. I'm only planning to sell on Kindle and when I upload it to the viewer, it looks fine, but I'm worried it might not be when I publish it.

What do you think?
Thanks again
