Book Corrector

Warning 1. Book Corrector works properly only with the books converted to the Book Designer format (the options "keep original format" or "re-format completely" in "Settings" have to be checked before the input file loading).
Warning 2. Althouth Book Corrector works in both Reader and Editor modes, it is recommended to use it in the Editor mode.
Book Corrector is designed to simplify and to make faster the procedure of the book editiing. It allows one to transform easily to each other such main book elements as book title, book author, titles, subtitles, paragraphs, epigraphs, verses and text author (text author is the author of the epigraph or verse). Also Book Corrector gives a possibility to perform a number of operations (such as words shifts, letters capitalizing, book elements movements, etc.) which one needs often during the book preparetion. The transformations can be performed with both single elements and their combinations as well. The elements or their combination has to be selected before the transformation. It is strongly recommended to use Book Corrector options (especially related to the selection of text fragments) instead of the usage of book editing options avaliable in the Editor mode. The usage of Book Corrector allows one not only to simplify the book editing procedure, but also to override severe MS DHTML Editor bags which appear often in the Editor mode with the transformations of the book elements.
There are the three forms of BookCorrector: the full, the middle and the small one. The middle form appears when you run first time BookDesigner. You can switch among three forms using the "additional options" icon .
