I don't know. I haven't tried to do that.


What counts as complicated? Read the Pandoc documentation.


Not impossible. Just more trouble than you wish to go through.

Next time, don't make the changes in the ePub in Sigil. Have the odt file open in LO when you review in Sigil, and make the changes you see needed in the odt, then generate a new copy of the ePub.


You are running an older lower powered machine, so not surprising.


Let us know how you make out.

Pandoc was okay, Dennis. It would do some conversions and not others. It would do .odt to .docx but not epub to .docx. I'll experiment more with it though. At this point it seems to me Calibre is still the best (however flawed) for conversions. Thanks. Appreciate the help.
