BD: Auto pagebreak preceding chapter?

Xsavior · 07-15-2007, 02:06 AM

Is there a way to quickly do this? It seems like there might be, but i've been looking, and nothing jumps out....

Make sure that your chapter titles have the "Title" style. When you create the Reader book, on the "Misc" page of the dialog, make sure the the "Page Breaks" box is checked. That will give you an automatic page break at each title.

right under TOOLS on the menu....Three up from the bottom left is a tool that has 2 (or is it 3) little lines in.

Clicking on this will give you line divisions that occur between whatever you set as a TITLE attribute. I mention this as a second choice when sometimes even setting any word as TITLE doesn't work, as sometimes will happen.

excellent, thanks to both suggestions. I like BD alot thus far, and it's very capable, it just seems like you have to dig to find some of the options.

If the chapter is short -- I've encountered chapters that are not even a page long -- then BD skips inserting a new page before the title and will not automatically include it in this own generated TOC. If you inset a manual page break it will work but it will still not show up in the TOC.

I recall that issue when I was helping Patricia with a book that had that problem. It turned out you need to set the ToC in the Make Sony Reader file options to full or all and it should work.
