Toxaris thanks for your response
Re multi paragraph dialogue item - I thought most style guides stipulated that each paragraph starts with a quotation mark, but only the the last has a closing quote mark.
The absence of the closing quote gives a clue that the following paragraph (which should start with a quotation mark), is spoken by the same character. If each paragraph has a closing quotation mark you don't know its a continuation of the previous characters speech.
Example ==>>
The Editor's Blog - How to Punctuate Dialogue
Quote:
Multiple paragraphs of dialogue
Dialogue may stretch across paragraphs without pause. To punctuate, put a terminal punctuation—period, question mark, or exclamation point— at the end of the first paragraph. There is no closing quotation mark at the end of this paragraph.
Begin the next paragraph with an opening quotation mark.
Follow this pattern for as long as the dialogue and paragraphs continue. At the last paragraph, use a closing quotation mark at the end of the dialogue.
“He was my best friend. I told you that, didn’t I? And then he stabbed me in the back. Stole my wife and my future. I hated him for that. Still do. Hate him bad.
“But he’s been punished, yes he has. He went to jail for embezzling thousands. Not even millions. Just thousands. Serves him right, the petty crook. He’s just a petty man.”

Re the pop-ups - in that dialogue fragment I sent there were 24 pop-ups, I'm reminded of Windows UAC pop-ups, people just click though them
Re the small caps - I only use them in a couple of instances, its in a macro, I'll replace the inline formatting with a style
I tried using a Style but I still don't get small caps in the EPUB. I put the Style name (Title) in Settings->HTML
¿Why does the ebook world have this 'hang up' with small caps one asks.
Did you notice that in the example I sent the EPUB acquired the string
 . There is no such thing in the DOCX, where it would show as '°'.
FWIW - very few of my documents originate from scans.
Re the Title and Author -
didn't notice the scroll bar in the settings
Thanks again BR
