I had removed it from the Word document, but apparently failed to successfully replace the book in calibre's book library.

A subtle but important point you made. Be careful when editing source documents that you have converted to ebooks with Calibre. You might think when you go to re-convert after making and saving the edit, Calibre will recognize the updated file version and convert that. Not so in my experience. It's either caching the old version (but I can't find that anywhere if so), or it is reading the metadata of the Word file, which hasn't materially changed, so it says, 'oh, must be the same file as before, just keep it as is.'

Best bet is to delete the book altogether from your Calibre library, then after making the edits in Word, drop the Word doc back into Calibre and convert again. Obviously, it's much faster just to make the change in the epub directly.
