This is something I didn't expect when I switched making physical books to making ebooks.

What I've been doing in Word is to copy/paste from my .RTF to a blank .TXT file. This preserves the graphics and italics, which is all I'm concerned with. This also removes all the Styles and gives me a clean base document to work with. Where I need a page break, I tag a blank line or text with the Heading 1 Style. That seems to work in a roundabout way if I try not to get fancy.

Using Wordpad seems to do the same thing as far as cleaning the doc of Styles, but I don't know how to insert <h1>, or breaks, into the text. Is that possible? If so, I'd be good to go using Wordpad for all my ebooks.
