I use Stingo's macro to eliminate the carriage returns at the end of each line in .txt files. (Do a forum search to find it, if you're interested.)
Then I do a quick edit in word if necessary. I then drop the file into Book Designer if I want to make tables of contents, or add pictures etc.
I've made a lot of books for the Sony Reader: at least a hundred of them started as text files (usually from Project Gutenberg). With Stingo's macro it only takes a few minutes to get a novel into a readable format.
1. Open a new word document.
2. Use the insert menu to insert the txt file.
3. Save the file.
4. Then run Stingo's macro. This eliminates hard line breaks, and sets the font at Times New Roman size 14 (a convenient size for the Reader).
5. Save the document - as rtf if you like - and it should be perfectly readable on your Reader.
6. However, you can do further editing in Word or in book Designer if you want pictures, a TOC, or other features.
