conversion tips

Ravenspath · 12-19-2009, 01:14 PM

Hello,
I'm new to the boards, ebooks, calibre and kindle. I was wondering if there were any tips, hints, FAQs or sites that can help with the conversion of .rtf or .html files.

Things that might cover such questions as:

Should I convert to .html first?
Can you insert tabs at paragraph starts?

I have no doubt the knowledge of these forums is great on matters of conversion.

Thank you.

Try the Instruction Manual - RTF Input page.

Hope that provides the help you need.

Read the section on conversion in the user manual. It's usuallya good idea to convert RTF to HTML first as it gives you more control and sometimes better results.
