Thank you, Nick! I'll certainly follow your instructions...


Once created, .imp ebooks cannot be 'deactivated' or 'undone'. But, just in case, you do have your original sources as backup, don't you?

Yes... I'm keeping all files seperate and backing everything up.

I am having some good success with eBook Publisher although I've asked a few questions in this thread that haven't been answered as yet:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63111

No doubt I'm going about this the *hard* way. What I'm trying to do is convert 125 small documents (each with its own chapter) to have as a book in .imp format.

The documents are all saved in MS Word but they are not styled very well (I didn't write them) ie: no paragraphs... just one block of uninterrupted text.

So... what I'm doing is copying each document into notepad and coding them with .html as I go. Then I save each one as an .html file to the content folder of eBook Publisher and import them one at a time into the publisher.

From there, I'm previewing each one and checking for errors. So far I've managed to convert 8 of the 125 docs... but I have a long way to go!

Probably an external CSS would be the ticket here... but I don't know how to create a CSS... I might try to learn that before too much longer... cuz this project is going to take years at the rate I'm going!

All I want is for the titles of each chapter to be centered... the paragraphs justified... and to have 2 pixel margins on each page edge.

If someone answers my question about whether or not the TOC can be used to link to each chapter using anchor tags... then I'll have to edit each document individually to include that info.

I'm having way too much fun with this and learning alot, too... and I thank everyone in this forum for serving up so much awesome information!

Thanks again, Nick!
