Thanks a lot vvv for your great program.

A Couple of minor issues using Designer V5
I tried out the new Version 5 of Book Designer today and was very pleased with how well it works now for converting input to .lrf Sony Reader output. I have converted both HTML input books and PDF input. Both work very well.
When I tried to change the font size for a "local" string (a word or two) I found that when I selected the text to be changed, the Configuration-Fonts tool was minimized. I could not maximize the "Change Font" tool unless I removed the selection/highlighting of the words for which I wanted to change fonts. I was thus unable to change the FONT for a selected text string. Change Font worked well for global changes although the reader decides on its own which font types to display, irrespective of how I selected a global font. I was also unable to set the COLORS for a local text string using the "set colors" tool. As long as I had a character string selected the Set Colors remained minimized. Perhaps I am doing something wrong??? A very small "nit" I noticed in Self Teaching Lesson 1 was the use of the Expression "ups" in a couple of places. For example in the text: " Ups, three paragraphs but formatted as a verse. The paragraphs are not broken...". I think "ups" means in three paragraphs ABOVE. The term, may be used in non-US English (UK, NZ or Aus) but it was new to me. All in All the help files/self teaching documents were great and very clear to me. I was able to figure out what "ups" meant so it isn't a problem for me but might be for other users. I found the DEFAULT values for the Fonts and Font sizes in the MAKE SONY READER file tool worked well for me. One of the big new capabilities of Version 5 is the way it reflows the text so that we don't get short sentence fragments because of hard CRs. Thanks very much for creating such a capable tool.

It's probably just Runglish for "oops"

Looks very cool.. and mostly works for me...
I have one problem (and I may just be doing something wrong). I open a PDF file... it works on it... but somehow it looses all of the quotation marks around dialog. Example: "Yes!" would be just: Yes! What am I doing wrong? Thanks! |

I don't think you and I are doing anything wrong. I hope the author will fix it. |

When i import an RTF file into Book Designer, italic and bold words lose their formatting. Anyone else having this problem, or know what to do about it? Is it related to using Word 2007? Thanks.

Another quick issue -- & is showing up as & in the LRF file and on the reader, although looks fine in bookdesigner itself. Great work vvv! Thanks for doing this.

For text files it has become my #1 choice for the Reader and it produces files that are 1/6th the size of RTF files. More comments as I do more and more things with it. For now, THANKS!
(Yes, I know that all caps used in that fashion is the same as shouting and that was what I intended.) |

I keep getting an error message on opening RTF and other files "Word cannot save this file because it is already open elsewhere. C:\Documents...\Normal.sty" Even if Word is not open.

1. Settings -> book language -> French 2. Load your RTF 3. "save current file" 4. "Make Sony Reader file" If it will not work, send me your RTF to valerii spmtwin.net Last edited by vvv; 02-07-2007 at 03:37 PM. |
