"Shapes" (circles around words) moving after conversion
Hi. I've created an eBook conversion using Calibre which I find came out quite good (took me around a dozen attempts with lots of tweaking of my Word doc). I used Word 2010 > Web Page > MOBI. My question is this; when I converted the Web Page to Mobi the circles I placed around certain words and symbols on my screen shots moved.
Is there some way to lock such objects in place? Thanks! Rich |

While not a circle:
Couldn't you use a Span with a border around the word Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <style> .box { margin: 0 .1em;padding:.1em; border-color: black; border-width: 1; border-style: solid; } </style> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p> </p> <p>Words in a <span class="box">box</span> if needed</p> </body> </html> |

Not sure I understand the second suggestion. I'm doing screen shots of Word menus. You mean, import the image, put the circle in the right place, and do a second screen shot? Rich |
