Hi all,

I have a conference paper in MS word format (.doc). In order to import it into my Calibre library, I first converted it to html, imported, then converted to epub from within Calibre. This was pretty good, but I'm not totally happy with the Chinese fonts assigned to my document in epub format. I may spend time trying to figure this out eventually, but I don't have time now, so I decided to also import the paper in PDF format.

I first tried converting the html version (saved as a zip file in Calibre) to PDF from within Calibre, but this replaced fonts just like the epub conversion did. So I decided to generate the PDF from MS Word, then import, in order to preserve all the formating of the original document. But now I have two entries in my library for the same paper! Is it possible to combine two entries, so I have one entry, in two formats, as if I had converted from within Calibre?

Thanks!
