I was able to easily format Gutenberg texts using "Autoformat" in Word 2000. This got rid of the hard line breaks inside of paragraphs. The procedure is simple and quick, and the default formatting is fine.

1. Open the Gutenberg text file in Word

2. Select "Autoformat" from the "Format" menu

3. Set the title and author in "Properties" in the "File" menu

4. Save the file as .RTF

5. Import the RTF file in the Connect Reader application

It took only a few seconds to make a couple of long books this way -- "The Golden Bough" came to 1,687 pages, and "Notre Dame de Paris," in French, came to 875 pages.
