Hi TheDucks

Alas, there isn't an option in the viewer to select std. vs bold.
The conversion will filter out embedded text from the input doc, and will allow me to select an alternate font, but it still comes out "bold".
I think something like this is what I need to find, but I'm not sure where to find it:
"or change the font-weight for the style (assumes a span, b or p controls)"
I did come up with a work-around by selecting a really skinny font (Letter Gothic), and converting into epub. At least this yields a readable book.
I'll experiment some more as time and enthusiasm allow.
