Hello, everyone.

I'm having some trouble with formating a book in Book Designer that I hope y'all can help me with.

Here is my problem: I purchased a book from Fictionwise in Secure eReader format. Since I did this accidentally and and I can't use that format on my Sony Reader I did a little conversion on the file to make it an HTML file that I then imported into Book Designer to make an LRF. So far so good.

My problem is that large portions of the text are italicized which shouldn't be and because I am a novice with BD I'm having trouble figuring out how to properly format the text.

What happens is when I highlight a portion of text to de-italicize it, simply clicking the "italics" button a couple of times does not do anything. Clicking the "paragraph" button reformats the entire novel so there is no formatting at all in the text. The text becomes one long block of text with no paragraph breaks or formatting. It seems as if there is some kind of "universal" style on the text that is preventing just a portion of it from being formatted differently.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Regards,
Michael
