Arios,
No, no tables for me in an epub. I know from experience that they don't fare too well, and I don't want to get too fancy for my own good. Macros would be good, but I'm guessing I won't have that many repetitive sequential operations to make it worthwhile anyway. Thanks for that link to the AWP thread on the forum. I'll probably be using it before long. As far as responses, yours have been pretty fast.
I'm finding now that AWP is a better medium for creating e-books than Apache Open Office with the writer2epub plugin, simply because when I apply vertical and horizontal spacing to my picture elements to align with text, it holds in the epub conversion, whereas with OO it does not. So you can add that feature as
a very good reason for using AWP as far as my needs are concerned.
I hope our discussion has generated a bit of useful information for other beginners, like me, with epub creation.
Thanks again!
Frank
