Posts #2, #3, and #5 of this thread all mention Atlantis Word Processor, and they are not mine. My first post to this thread is #10. When someone says that Atlantis Word Processor generates an invalid EPUB file, why I cannot ask for details? When Laura said that "Atlantis worked perfectly", and asked for batch conversion "in Atlantis", what's wrong with replying with MY solution?

Thank you for answering direct queries from users on this forum. It is nice to know someone from AWP is watching and ready to assist as needed.
It is also worthy of note that you stepped up to help even though you knew she was using the free version of your software.

3. Copy and paste the two lines above into Notepad, and save a file named "doc2epub.bat" or anything else whose name you'll remember ending in .bat. Save it in the same folder where your .doc files are.
The lines assume you're using a 64-bit operating system. If not, then use this instead:
Code:
for %%I in (*.doc) do "C:\Program Files\AbiWord\bin\AbiWord.exe" --to=html "%%I"
for %%I in (*.html) do "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\ebook-convert.exe" "%%I" "%%~nI.epub"

This is a very nice solution. I'm glad you stopped whining about another forum member answering questions and trying to help someone long enough to provide a working solution.
I'll have to save this post for future use.
Karma to both of you.
