Hi
The best results I have got is doing this (PRS-500 though):
1.-Prepare the text in MS Word (with table of contents if you want)
2.-Convert it to .lit using wordrmr utility (available on
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...0-6bca50c7d356 ) ... dont forget to download jpg book covers
3.-Check it out on MS reader for PC, does it look good?
4.-Drop it on Calibre and convert it to LRF
5.-Put your head between your legs and be ready for the impact
6.-Be amazed on how it looks on PRS
7.-Repeat as desired (specially steps 1 to 3)
I tried several other methods before I got this one, you have to be specially careful when copying-pasting from pdf, since it converts end of line into a carriage return, messing up the results, and getting line and half of text on the PRS (of course, reading pdf's directly on the unit is a lot uncomfortable).
Then I came up with this vb script for word that will clear that undesired carriage returns after pasting the text into word (it is not very elegant, but does its job):
Code:
Sub RemoveParagraph()
'
' RemoveParagraph Macro
' Elimina los marcadores de párrafo del texto seleccionado
' LR, May '09
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Dim arreglo As String
With Selection.Find
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindAsk
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.Forward = True
End With
'Remove undesired carriage return
Dim letras As String
Dim numletras As Integer
Dim letra As String
letras = "abcdefghijklmnñopqrstuvwxyzáéíóúABCDEFGHIJKLMNÑOPQRSTUVWXYZ,; "
numletras = Len(letras)
'Elimina los retornos de carro indeseados
For a = 1 To numletras
letra = Mid(letras, a, 1)
Selection.Find.Replacement.Text = letra & " "
Selection.Find.Text = letra & "^p"
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Next
Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphJustify
End Sub
Sub EliminaHeaders()
'Select undesired header and execute this
If Len(Selection.Text) < 3 Then
MsgBox ("Sin texto seleccionado o texto muy pequeño")
Exit Sub
End If
If MsgBox("You sure want to delete selected header(s)?", vbYesNo, "Alert") = vbNo Then Exit Sub
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Dim arreglo As String
With Selection.Find
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindAsk
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.Forward = True
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Text = Selection.Text
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
Sub EliminaNumerosPagina()
'Delete undesired page numbering (when copied from pdf)
On Error GoTo Fallo
Dim strNum
strNum = InputBox("Type original page number", "Delete page numbering")
num = CInt(strNum)
For a = num To 0 Step -1
letra = Str(a)
Selection.Find.Replacement.Text = " "
Selection.Find.Text = a & "^p"
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Next
MsgBox ("Complete")
Exit Sub
Fallo:
MsgBox ("Something wrong happenned, please check: " & Err.Description)
End Sub
Hope it is useful, now I have made several books using this method and I am very satisfied, books look neat and professional on the prs, now is a real pleasure to read!
