Margin Cut issue - Page 2

SeaBookGuy · 03-02-2011, 07:22 PM

I may have accidentally messed with the font size as the LRF came out incredibly tiny -- OED-like.

I have a few that resisted my efforts to establish reasonable margins. Here's my quick and easy fix:
1. Use Calibre to convert the ePub to Mobi and check "Ignore Margins" under the Mobi Output.
2. Convert the new Mobi back to ePub.

trekchick--
Thanks for the "quick fix"! I'll try it on my book when I get home tonight and report back.

Solved the issue for me - thanks!

Just tried converting to and from Mobi format--it successfully fixed my book as well! Thanks for the tip.
