Word 2003 to HTML to epub, 2 small probs...

fonebone · 01-10-2015, 05:59 PM

Hi:

I just converted a quite heavily formatted 550 page book I wrote in Word 2003 to epub, via HTML (Save as Web Page, Filtered) . . . It looks to have gone pretty well for a first time try, a bit of editing to come I suppose, but I have two Warnings before I begin the editing process:

"This CSS construct is not recognized. That means that it most likely will not work on reader devices. Consider replacing it with something else."

page_styles.css
font-stretch: normal;

stylesheet.css
text-justify: inter-ideograph;

..I'm not up to speed on how Calibre cannot recognise it's own conversion so if anybody can help me out I would be most grateful. tia.

Calibre does not automatically remove stuff.

I would just remove the font-stretch line
and the text-justify
They are not used in EPUB (removal avoids the failure to ignore unknowns problem
