Only half of the last letter of the line of text is making on the page.

[notthatamanda]

I just redid a book with Styles.   Running it through the D2D meatgrinder.  Some pages, not all, the last letter isn't fully making it on the page.  Other pages are fine.  I set the main paragraph tab indents to 0.  The whole document is full justified, using the style.    Samples below.  These are from the same chapter and I am baffled.     Thanks for the help.  I never attached screen shots before so fingers crossed.

Wow! How does that even happen with an ebook?

Usually, the D2D support people are fairly fast at replying. This appears to be a question only they can answer.

Alternatively, don't they take a premade EPUB? If you're looking for a quick fix, that should take care of the problem.

Thanks, I haven't asked them yet at D2D.  I use D2D to generate the epubs for everything.  This is going from a word document, but styles usually keeps things consistent.    Hopefully someone here will know something but if not I'll ask D2D.  Thanks.

I don't have a solution but I noticed you seem to be getting inch and foot marks in place of apostrophes and quotation marks.

Since you've obviously used the process before, I suspect a random glitch of some kind. What puzzles is that I've never heard of this kind of problem before. Weird formatting, yes. Cut-off letters, never.

You might be able to diagnose the problem yourself by opening the epub in Sigil, a free program. https://sigil-ebook.com/ I haven't used it in some time, but it enables you to examine the code in an epub. By comparing the epub with one of your previous ones, you might be able to spot extraneous code. Save the file under a new name just in case, and try to alter the current code to match the old one. Check the edited file and see what you get. That might be a little faster than waiting for D2D.

Oh my gawd!  It's like reveal codes, from Word Perfect.  I've only been praying for this for 20 years.  Thank you Bill, THANK YOU!

You're welcome. I hope it helps you figure out what the problem is.

Okay you got me but April fools was yesterday.  The last time I ran into a formatting brick wall I broke out in hives.  Be kind, I'm begging you.

Could it be the device you're using to view the file and not the file itself?

[RPatton]

It almost looks like an image as opposed to a reflowable epub. I'd say fixed-layout, but fixed-layout has defined margins. Unless... Okay, throwing ideas at the wall here. I'm wondering if it is in a fixed layout format and the width of the device is set to a point where it cuts off the page because the margins are being respected? Double check the output and make sure it's set to reflowable?

As for the straight quotes instead of curly quotes, that's usually caused in the HTML. “ and ” for left and right quotes (respectively) should be seen on the HTML instead of " and ".

I appreciate all the suggestions.  I just can't deal with it right now, way way too complicated and confusing for a process I have been through numerous times before.  Stepping back for a bit and trying to break it into smaller steps I can handle.
Oh and Dan, you weren't even joking about the foot and inch marks!  I didn't get that at first. 
Nope, can't deal, opting out for an undetermined amount of time.
Thanks again all.

If you like, I could have a look at it for you to see if I can see what is wrong?I can DM you my email address if you want me to do that? I'm in the mood to procrastinate, and I love ebook formatting so it would be a pleasure.

D2D looked at the epub file and thinks the problem is in their on-line previewer.  The epub file looks okay.  They are reporting the problem to support on their end.   So, whew, but I am still a little nervous.
D2D support is the best.  They get a banana riding llama.

Glad you got it sorted. I'd second that llama -- D2D support is excellent.

I have since uploaded the epub generated by D2D to all the other sites.  It looked fine on the Kobo previewer and the Kindle previewer.  The curly quotes were still inch marks, but I can live with that.  Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and links and offers to help.  Amanda
