eBook Library

I purchased a new PRS-700 recently and am very pleased with it. I have loaded over 1,000 books and documents on the internal memory, many of them as MS Word or PDF documents. However, when importing PDF or Word files, I encounter several oddities that I cannot figure how to fix:

1. Sometimes, they will not load into eBook Library (can't figure out why).
2. Sometimes the Word Documents are titled, "Microsoft Word - ____" with the "___" being the title that I gave the document. How do I get rid of the "Microsoft Word -" portion?
3. Sometimes the PDF files load with their own titles (that I think relate back to the website that I downloaded them from). So, if I have downloaded five documents from the same website, they might all have the same title, although they are very different documents by content.

Any ideas how to fix any of these or change them once in eBook Library? Thanks.

Being new to the eBook Library myself, I have read in the manual that it will only import MS Word documents if you have MS Word installed on your PC. If you have, then others in this forum will have lots of suggestions on how to import/convert your books/documents.

right click your documents (word/pdf) and select properties, and then open the second
tab (vista) and edit/adjust your title. Sometimes the book title not the file name.
Pdf's store info all over the place
