Welcome to my Word add-in. This add-in has all kinds of procedures to help with creating e-Books.
Amongst others, the following procedures are available:
- Preperation/Prework
- Search & Replace
- Check dialogues
- Check accented Words
- Generate clean HTML
- Create ePUB
- Check for smallcaps
- Check for sub- and superscript
The preperation/prework procedure is the first procedure to roughly cleanup the output from ABBYY (or another OCR program) to prepare for the other work. The second is a Search and Replace procedure. That procedure follows a Word document with tables (example available on the site) that contains a large number of S&R rules. An XML document is also possible. Your own rules can be added to that, there is an internal editor for this to make it easier. The dutch version has much more standard available than the English, but if you send me additions (not via this forum please to keep the thread clean) I will add them to the base document. Some S&R are language independent.
The third procedure is to check all dialogues in the system if they are correct. With correct I mean having an opening and an ending quote. I check for 3 kind of quotes: single, double and guillemets (« »). Almost all variants are available to support multiple languages. The procedure can also check the various types of parenthesis.
The fourth procedure is useful for languages that are not using accented words frequently in my opinion. It checks all accents to check they are correct. Words can be added to a temporary list to skip them for the remainder of the document.
The fifth procedure is basically my HTML export macro (with some changes). The sixth procedure is taking the HTML export and creates a base ePUB ready to be loaded into Sigil or the Calibre Editor. You can make additions like adding a title, author, description and cover. A basic table of contents is created. If desired, a stylesheet can be created based on the layout in Word. Foot- and endnotes are supported as well. If desired, the document can be split per chapter during the creation of the ePUB.
There are many more features and tools.
Enjoy.
