BookCreator Tool v3.5

[PieOPah]

My margins are all okay. I leave the default as per your image.

It is all of the chapters that have a huge gap at the top despite me removing the paragraphs.



The view from the LRF viewer in Calibre (as per screenshot) is exactly how it appears on my Sony 505...

Based on your response to MJ --At the risk of sounding like a developer-- this looks like a calibre setting. You might want to jump to the calibre forum and ask Kovid. If you don't, I will since this is something I too am interested in finding out.

Thanks,

I'll post over there now

Hi

Have just downloaded BookCreator 2.6.1 and the eBookPub 2.3.8.
I imported a txt file using the toolbars and did a word wrap. I saved the document and I clicked on the LRF button and got the error

Runtime error 5
Invalid procedure call or argument

Below is the resulting error line from debug.

It is looking for a form called FrmCreateLRF. Where is this form held? This is similar to the error that Stranjer displayed in an earlier post but I have eBookPub installed on my machine and I have Caliber running in the background.


Any thoughts?

Alan

Thank you for the detailed report, it makes trouble shooting much easier.
The line you are showing is not the true problem. VBA is just reporting it this way. What I need you to do is step through the code until the real problem occurs.
To do this first place a breakpoint on the line you show above. Do this by selecting the line then pressing "F9". The line will change to a red highlight.
Then run the program as normal, by reating an LRF book. It will stop executing at the breakpoint ("frmCreateLRF.Show")
Now step trough the code by pressing ("F8"). Do this until you get the error message.
The problem line will be one step before the error message occurs.

Thank you

I am attempting to use the BookCreator_v2.6.1 and get these errors when I try to use any of the functions. "Can't execute code in break mode." or "Compile Error, Can't find project or library."

Thanks for any help.

I have Windows WP and Office 2007 installed and I have the same problem as
Roberts234. I create a .epub file with no trouble but then I can not close
the Word document and my computer hangs.
Any idea on what I can do?
Thanks!

The biggest problem I have had is with the temp files that BookCreator creates. In some instances I am left with an empty folder of a specific book I have been editing and I am unable to delete the said folder for some reason due to some contents not existing...

I can move the folder anywhere but can't rename or delete. Really frustrating. This has happened twice once on 2 different machines....

Ended up dumping the folder somewhere I will never look for it!

Hi Wgates, version 2.6.1 requires a ePublisher. The workaround is to revert back to 2.5.2 or install ePublisher. ePublisher is required for creating IMP files.

Please refer to the first post on this thread for instructions (link)

This was a problem has been fixed in version 2.6.1

To remove those temp directories follow the steps below

1) Open a command prompt
2) Navigate to the temp directory.
C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Local Settings\Temp\BookCreatorTemp
// Replace <your user name> with ... your user name.
3) GET DOS 8.3 NAME by runing the command blow
dir /x /a

4) Remove Directory using DOS 8.3 name
RD /S /Q "DOS 8.3" NAME

// Note the "DOS 8.3" represents the old dos filenames

This a problem is hard for me to resolve because I do not have a copy of 2007. An do not know enough about what is causing the problem.

Is there any techie out there with Word 2007 that would like to help the MR community with resolving this problem?

I have figures or tables that won't convert to what they look like in the .pdf for my Kindle. This link has the offending PDF. For example Figure 1-10 and Table 1-1 turn out to be unformatted and unreadable.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solu...o/TP-Book.html

Is there any way to use this process to fix the problems?

[PieOPah]

Okay, Having spent hours scanning and cleaning a book, I then spent several more hours in word formatting everything until it was just the way I wanted. I had nothing but trouble sorting out the images so that they would fill a page on the Sony Reader without leaving a blank page before it.

Eventually, I took the document into Frontpage and was able to get everything right. I then imported the file using BookCreator.

This is where the next lot of problems start

None of the paragraphs are indenting...

Everything else is perfect but it loses that small amount of formatting.

I have turned the Doc into an RTF and then converted directly in Calibre which keeps the formatting but loses the images.

How can I have the best of both?

I have spent so long trying to get this book together that I am at my wits end.

Many thanks,

[mjh215]

PieOPah;

I'm not certain if this will help you or mess up more of your formatting or not, so make a backup first.

What I've done is select all the text and then applied the _1 Text style on it, this formatted the paragraphs correctly with indentation when I've cut-and-pasted from sources and had that occur.
