.ODT to Epub text shrinkage...

hanzz10 · 08-06-2012, 12:40 PM

On conversion from .odt to epub via Calibre, the first two pages of text (a small paragraph on each page) in the resulting epub file are nearly microscopic. In the .odt, they are correctly sized. All the rest of the text in the epub file is correctly sized piecemeal, as it should be. I've even created a new .odt file, excised the two errant pages of text from the original .odt, pasted everything else over into that new .odt file, then (from a standard windows text file) re-pasted the two problem paragraphs, and still on conversion they and they alone are microscopic.

I have no idea what was done, and honestly it may be something in open office. If anyone has any real idea what caused it, please let me know.

Hm. As always happens, I post a problem and immediately discover the cause of the original problem. I looked at the "Convert Books"/"Convert individually"/"Look and Feel" options, and turned ON the option "Disable Font Size Rescaling". After converting, it comes out right. Thank goodness.
