Any idea what might be causing this corruption of a Kindle file?

I sent my book in and it reads reasonably okay. However, on my (sample only) Chapter 3a, it is readable, but corrupted with the following:


ABe calm. Everything will be alright. * No, don = t struggle. * Lie back.@

A is not there. = is obviously ' and the @ is almost certainly "


Oh, blimey. Have I answered my own question? That's a UK keyboard isn't it? It doesn't quite pan out, but I just can't think how this has happened.

By the next chapter it's back to normal. They tell me my .docx file is wrong, but the one I sent is fine. All HTML and Kindle conversions at home worked okay. In uploading it to them, it went wrong for one chapter.

UK set. = is the same. @ that checks. don't is normal. Can't be the answer.



I won't know until tomorrow if the new upload is okay.
