That's terrific information, Patricia! Thank you. I apologize if it's all known to everyone else and has already been posted five times before. Much karma upon you.

I'm off on holiday on Monday morning, till the 15th July, but will have a go when I come back. (I'm going to Le Croisic in the Loire Atlantique. I rather doubt whether it is known for wifi hotspots, so don't suppose that I will be online.)

As mentioned by another poster, GutenMark may be just the thing for the text files. And something like a port of Unix "sed" or other automated search and replace tool that handles regular expressions would be good for the embedded page numbers. ______ Dennis Last edited by DMcCunney; 07-06-2008 at 01:41 AM. |

I think it's easier to stick to RTF files than use Book Designer.

BookDesigner has served me well for over a year and I'm a mediocre techie at best. I've used it to convert many types of files (i.e. pdf, rtf, doc, lit, txt, and html) with very few problems. No doubt there are minor problems with it but overall I think it an excellent conversion tool. If you’re having specific problems let us know. I'd be happy to try and help. |

To make blank lines between paragraphs for LRF eBooks, in the Makes Sony Reader file dialog select the options tab. Then under paragraphs select seperate and there you go. It's best that the book not actually have physical blank lines as this limits what you can do like make an eBook to upload here and then one formatted how you like it.

Yes I've read Harry T's guide and I agree it is excellent. The challenges I came across usually fell outside of the scope of what the guild and BookDesinger where intended for, which is creating novels. I found that creating simple books in BD is not so bad. Unfortunately most of the books I want to convert contain different formating and many pictures. Thank you, =X= |

=X=, can you give us examples of what you want to do that you cannot do?
Most novels (that I know of) would be perfectly OK in Book Designer and then output as LRF. |
