3. Close the Book Cleaner window and exit BD.
Those settings will be remembered. Now, whenever you load a new book, Book Cleaner will "process" the file and automatically preserve dashes, etc.
The only other thing you have to do, when you create a SONY book, is go to the "Options" page of the "Make Sony Book" dialog, and in the "Misc" section of the page (at the far right side), set the "Dashes" drop-down to "as it is".
That's it! |
I have tried all that but to no avail. But I think that I may be on to something. I am running Windows Vista and I tried the whole book cleaner thing on a friends computer running XP and it worked as advertised. I need to have Vista so I can talk my Dad through computer problems via the phone. It is easier when we are both working on the same page. He is not very computer literate. I remember one time I asked him to right click on the desktop and he stated that he had to get a pen. So I really do not want to go back to XP. If anyone has any ideas with this issue I would welcome their advice.
