God Bless you

When I first read your reply, I thought to myself that I had never done any search and replace and I even looked at that TAB in the conversion window to make sure. I didn't see it so I moved on. I redid the book several times using the BUG option. I was able to find that the input RAW-HTML result was fine but the parsed data was full of dots. On a lark I used the metadata.opf as the input to the conversion. When I tried to convert this to an EPUB it failed but the error report gave the changes from default values and low and behold, it said I was trying to search and replace a "." with ". " I went back to the Search and Replace page and there it was. Do you know how hard it is to even notice that you have two periods in the search/replace boxes?

I didn't realize that these definitions were persistent across all formats forever. Now, I recall that the Dream Voice app I mentioned in an earlier post was having trouble reading a file and basically, that file had no space after the period at the end of each sentence. I used this search and replace and fixed that file and then promptly forgot about it. It sat there causing me grief for months.

All is well now.... The only remaining confusion is that when, on the search and replace tab, I hit "Restore Defaults" its putting periods there. At any rate, I know how to make it work and I'll figure that out as I need to ....
