Hi y'all - just wondering if anyone has tried to create epubs for both Google Books and Smashwords? Smashwords told me to start with a Word doc, had to be done in Word 97-03; then I had to save as an html or htm. Google didn't require or recommend starting with Word. So anyway I've tried saving the Word doc as "web page, filtered" (which does strip out a lot of MS junk). Everything passed epubcheck the first time, it got into the Premium Catalog....then Apple rejected it, then it failed epubcheck when I tried it again. I'm having the same problem with Google Books. I've started using FlightCrew and then Sigil to correct the html source, but the errors are numerous and not so simple to fix - e.g. I'm looking at 30 cases of "attribute 'name' is not declared for element 'a' " aarrrgh!!!
Should I try starting with html and only converting to Word 6.0 (or something like that) for Smashwords? I never had a problem with .mobi conversion for Amazon - piece of cake converting from Word to html to .mobi using Calibre!
