I've tried BookDesigner in the past, but didn't get too far... I thought it was a llittle bit hard to use (BookDesigner 4.0). I've tried it again just now, and I think I've finallly got something that's reasonably usable.
Can you not open Word or RTF in BookDesigner if Word isn't installed? I'm using Open Office 3.0 and I had a hard time finding something it would even open. Any version of Word I save the file in, it gave a series of very similar dialogs, mostly along the lines of "check your MS Word installation" (it even said this when I wasn't opening Word files, like a PDF). The only thing I could open was HTML. It didn't do too bad a job, with a little work, but things like italicizing was gone.
Is there a newer version than 4.0?
As for formatting, I wasn't wanting to stick strictly to the input file, but I wanted things like:
- the cover scan
- a page break before each chapter (I found an option in BookDesigner that seem to almost do that, but it missed them at seemingly random intervals, so I had to go through and add them in manually)
- a page break putting title pages, etc. on their own pages
Thanks!
