Is it possible to edit 1st line of HTML while converting?

Hello everyone

I use Calibre to send documents to my Kindle, and now I want to make a change in my file.
I got the original file in azw3 but recognized as MOBI in Calibre(bought from Amazon).For editing, I convert it to AZW3 in Calibre and found it was like this: (HTML file in the text part)

Quote:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="hltr" lang="ja">
<head><meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<title>ご利用上の注意</title>
<link href="../styles/0002.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link href="../styles/0001.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

</head>
<body class="p-caution">
<div class="main1">

<p class="calibre">本電子書籍を示すサムネイルなどのイメージ画像は、再ダウンロード時に予告なく変更される場合があります。</p>

</div>
</body>
</html>

And I just want to change the [class="vrtl"] in the first line into [class="hltr"] or maybe just delete it.
But I found that the Search&Replace function in Convert doesn't work.
I have seen that it's unable to change things out of <body>
So is there any way to do that?
(For now I can use the editor to change that file-by-file, but it's too inefficiency.)

Thank you

PS:For what's I'm doing, I just want to change the vertical-writing to horizontal one. A Lot of books are released vertical in Japan but I prefer horizontal.

Use the Edit Book tool. Or if you want to override the actual CSS use the filter style information tool in the look & feel->styling section of the conversion dialog.

I just did it by overriding CSS.
add

Quote:

.vrtl {
-webkit-writing-mode: horizontal-lr;
font-family: serif-ja, serif
}

and it works.

But I still wondering how could I edit multiple files at the same time with the Edit Book tool.

Anyway, thank you for your help very much.
