TXT to EPUB then add JPG?

[bibliocat1]

My client wants his book with both text and JPGs converted to EPUB. Originally gave it to me in Word and PDF. Already know PDF is a lost cause.

First did Word>HTML>EPUB and lost the images and the text was all over the place because of the spacing from Word.

So now trying Word>TXT>EPUB...is there anyway to insert the JPG images into EPUB after going from TXT>EPUB?? Other ideas?

If the point of this is to do a conversion and then clean up the epub, there is a DOC input plugin to convert from these. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=229166 for details.

Alternately, open it in a recent version of Word and save as DOCX. The conversion plugin for DOCX is built-in to calibre, so there is no need to add anything.

There is also a Word addon that allows you to export from Word as an ePub. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=213372 for details.

Of these, I have only tried the first, but only to help debug the plugin. There are probably other ways and I suggest asking in either the ePub forum or the Workshop forum for help.

- of the three, I find the calibre DOCX 'conversion' is best. But an even better solution is to Import the DOCX into the calbre ebook editor.
