that's maybe an overkill method but it needs no programming skills!
I try now to do everything with sigil & microspell, & learn those programs better as I go.
I love the idea of converting to RTF and using Word! Brilliant for non-techies like me. I have recently bought myself a CSS Web Design for Dummies and was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the information when all I want is to re-format. Thatnks so much for the tip cybmole! Just a brief question though: I was under the impression that it was converting from pdf to epubs (in calibre) that had wonked out the formatting in the newly created epub files. Would this be likely to happen from rtf back to epub?
