Can't get rid of this bullet on most pages

I can't find where this comes from or how to get rid of it. Converting in Calibre from a Word doc.
  • I've changed fonts.
  • I've removed any extra line breaks.
  • I've moved all page breaks properly.
  • I've inspected for hidden anything.

Your heading is probably using a list style in Word.

You will need to post the HTML code for that section as well as the CSS. We cannot help without seeing this.

Sadly I have no idea how to even find HTML or CSS code in a Word doc.

I just converted the Word doc with Convertio rather than Calibre and the dots are gone, so I think there might be a bug in the newest Calibre code.

I suspect Jon was referring to the HTML and CSS code in the converted file not the input file.

I agree. Work on the EPUB

You should see something like:
<ul> h
<li> the words here <<<you really want to cange the <li> to <h3 class='yourCSSstyle">
</ul>

The stuff in red is no longer needed

Found it! Thank you!! I think what happened is that when I did a search and replace changing section breaks to page breaks, and because most pages had a bulleted list of questions at the end, the page breaks somehow carried the bullets over.

<ul class="list_">
<li class="block_46">
<span class="text_18">
</span></li>
</ul>

Also it's best to use a list style in the Wordproccessor with NO bullets, symbols or numbers or letter prefixes and explicitly type them in at the start of each list item. Works 100% on every kind of Kindle, Kobo, Nook, Sony and App. Using a list style with bullets or symbols, or auto incrementing numbers or letter prefixes can fail or render incorrectly.

Avoid using any special font for bullets as by default that won't work on a Kindle. Only works if the font is embedded AND the user selects Publisher on the reader GUI.
Some apps don't even use embedded fonts in an ebook!
