When I create an ePub with eScape, the cover is not centered on my Sony 505. Anyone know where in the CSS I can fix this? Or is this what the processor is doing regardless of the CSS?

I created a macro in Open Office Writer called Auto Chapter. It automatically searches for the word "Chapter" and inserts the body-Chapter-igp style before it. It then selects the "Chapter XX" line and sets the style to title-num-igp. Next, it sets the subtitle to title-sub-igp. This macro only works when there are subtitles though. When there are no subtitles it fails miserably. It would be great if the Macro ignored the word chapter if it is part of a paragraph and skip the subtitle if it doesn't exist between the chapter and first paragraph. Anyone out there with more Open Office Macro experience? I think it would be very handy to have the macros embedded in the eScape template along with an embedded toolbar. Open Office Writer seems to have the facilities for both.

Thanks everyone! eScape is is the best solution I've found so far to create ePubs. I love it!
