Hi, OFSO. Yep, I don't mind keeping it open, in the hope it will help others.
My Ver 2 of "The Perfect Code" is running in Amazon Books for Kindle now, but the tedious Ch 3a - a one-pager for emphasis - is still showing @ = < etc., instead of punctuation marks. Nothing I can do will reveal hidden (perhaps old Word Perfect) code on the page, but when it arrives, they say they can see it in the Word .docx (doc compatibility) file. It is readable, but supposed to be a very meaningful statement. That's why it has a mini-chapter to itself.
I can even turn it into a .mobi file via HTML FILTERED and show it on Kindle for PC This is always perfect. Nowhere can I find the reason for that one page to carry the faults.
I have plucked that page out and inserted a clean page
and typed in the text. It will be submitted today when I have had some more rest.
I've had about 3 hours after losing my Table of Contents last night. Along with other things, like a vital missing page break, I spent hours on just getting it right again - which included a chapter by chapter word count against my written logs. Nearly a quarter-million of them.
Last night I felt very distressed about this. I hate to let people down, and the days are running out before I have to leave for the UK. There I'll be very limited on computers and wi-fi. Very, very bad timing.
However, Kindle have said faulty books can be replaced. Bit of a long winded procedure, but doable.
Just one of the support replies:
