I've run into that as well, though to be fair I'm a complete novice with Book Designer. I've found a system that works for me. But if I didn't have Word 97...I probably would have been forced to learn how to use Book Designer. For the moment, except with a few glitches, I've got something that works 99% of the time and I do double check my LRF creations.

Once you have a clean html source it's rather doable to make it look pretty on the device. Well maybe not that pretty... I'm happy with the chapters being bolded and centered and a space afterwards before the start of a new paragraph. Anything more than that would take too long.
