oh nice! thank you very much for that!
I've been doing that manually either from the book or by running a google search...
Saw some other interesting scripts at the site you linked too. Does Open Office make cleaner RTF files than MS Office? I know there's that one direct conversion plugin for Open Office, which I guess makes it worth getting anyway. Just installing 2 full office packages on one computer seemed a bit over the top, but I might anyway, cause I need to find a good way to hand-edit epubs with lots of pictures in them, which mostly don't auto-convert as well as pure text books.
So converting to RTF to edit seems like a plausible route...
