HOW TO MAKE MS READER FILE
MS Reader is a program for the reading of electronic books in lit format. The program can be installed on both PC and Pocket PC as well. You can download MS Reader for free from http://www.microsoft.com/reader/. MS Reader russification procedure is described at http://www.hdvd.org/.
Book Designer has an option allowing one to create a lit file from the currently loaded book. The user can choose one of the two ways to make a lit file: either with MS Word or with the inner Book Designer utility (makelit.exe) which is included into Book Designer distribution. If "use MS Word to make lit-file" box is checked in "Settings" menu, MS Word will be used, otherwise makelit.exe will be implemented.
Comment 1.If you decide to use MS Word, you will need MS Word 2000 or higher with the "Read in Microsoft Reader Add-in" installed. Add-in can be downloaded for free from http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/rmr.asp .
Comment 2. makelit.exe is working faster than MS Word and gives better results. However I am not sure that I have found all the Microsoft traps related to the lit-file creation, so I cannot guaranty that makelit.exe will work with all the books. If it falls down, you will get a corresponding notification. In this case just check "use MS Word to make lit-file" in "Settings" and press "Make MS Reader file" icon again.
