If I'm remembering correctly, BD uses MS Word as a resource to process certain file types, and from what you've said it must also use it for .LIT files. However, there are a number of conversion apps that will put your .LIT file into something else (like HTML) for you, which BD will handle fine on its own. I'd suggest Amber Lit Converter, or ConvertLIT for starters. They seem to be the ones that folks have the best luck with, based on recommendations around here.

1. Settings -> re-format completely, keep pictures, keep bookmarks and links, keep styles: all checked. 2. load your lit Under the above settings BD will not use Word for the pre-processing of html's extracted from lit. However in this case some tag tree errors may appear. To check a tag's tree, press Tools -> Html Fragment Editor -> whole code. If there are some errors, they will be reported at the statusbar, and you will have to fix them manually (an automatic tree corrector is not ready yet). Last edited by vvv; 06-11-2007 at 03:54 PM. |

So what part of Word is needed to do the conversion so maybe only that bit can be installed and not the rest? This is a guess that it's possible to do this.

I haven't seen this addressed, but does BD work with Word 2007? I have Win XP (not Vista).

If you look at the files used by BD in the Program Files subdirectory you will see "clit" which I suspect is what BD uses to convert LIT files.

Yes BD uses CLIT to convert LIT. But it also accesses Word in order to convert to something BD understands. That is if I am understanding what vvv has been saying.

You are right: Word is used to standardize html's and to fix tag tree errors which occur frequently in original html's. Well, Word outputs quite complicated html's, but I prefer to deal with them rather than with messed originals...

BD never ceases to amaze me.
Yesterday I encountered a book that looked very odd in html format. All ' signs were replaces by some sort of grey rectangles about a size of a capial N. All " signs were replaced by black squares about 1/2 size of the mentioned rectangles. More over some of " signs were replaced by some odd sign...when I uploaded the file into BD, it sorted all the problems! Isn't it amazing? |
