While I know that MS Word can be used to make LIT files, why do you have to have Word installed to open LIT in book designer?

Is there a work around?
Try:
1. Settings -> re-format completely, keep pictures, keep bookmarks and links, keep styles: all checked.
2. load your lit

Under the above settings BD will not use Word for the pre-processing of html's extracted from lit. However in this case some tag tree errors may appear. To check a tag's tree, press Tools -> Html Fragment Editor -> whole code. If there are some errors, they will be reported at the statusbar, and you will have to fix them manually (an automatic tree corrector is not ready yet).
