I just tried to type these two sentences you just gave me and it does not work and...using this program you just told me sounds a bit crazy since I do not even feel capable of using Calibre properly! LOL...

I will try to find a different version of this book because I do not like to read with such a huge left margin and waste part of the screen!

Thank you again!!
HTML is really quite simple, once you start thinking in boxes and opperations that apply to boxes (or are simply inherited from the outer box)

Do this:
Print out a page of of a book.
Now make Horizontal cuts between the Paragraphs (you might want to mark a number on the back to help order them later). Trim off the edges, the same amount.

Now take a Blank Page. This is the Body. Mark som margins on the 4 edges.
Hey we just set some of the the Body Style Margins

Now grab the First strip. Is i the Heading. Place it, right,Left,Down from the top Body Margin, allow some White space below
This is the "heading style" margins

Place the next strip. First Paragraph, No indent, basic upper and lower margins
This is the First_Para style.

Ok now place the remaining. Indented, Upper and lower margins (adds to the lower of the previous, to make the visible paragraph spacing)

That's it. Boxes (Headings and Paragraphs), Stacked within a Box (Body)

4 Styles and you have all you need for a Basic page layout.

All the rest, just adds MORE (HTML has built in defaults if you don't specify your own)
