I've been trying to convert a book displays properly in Word and Acrobat, but when converted with Calibre and displayed in ePub (on the iPad) spaces incorrectly. I'm wondering if this is a case where I can use Sigil to find and fix the problem.

I began by removing all footers an d page numbers from the original document, and then removed all hard page breaks except for the page before a new chapter (there are four chapters, and three hard page breaks). What surprised me was the when proofing the iBook (ePub), not only didn't the chapters always break properly, but there were line breaks where they shouldn't be (they are correct in Word and the PDF). The line would just seem to break at random, and sometimes a space would even be inserted in that broken line. At other times, the line would remain in tact but instead of being a space where there should be one, there was no space, as if there was no hard line return. Very disheartened by this, since Word and Acrobat have no code to make visible to find what is causing all this havoc.

Have others had these kinds of conversion problems, and if so, what to do about them? Do you recommend Sigil to try to find them and edit them out? Can the Calibre ePub be edited successfully with Sigil?
