Error in conversion.
Hi, I've being using Calibre for a while, and passed it to a friend. She's having a little problem with the conversion. When the file (any format) is converted to rtf, all the lines are breaked, and the result is like this...

This happened when she tried to reduce the margin. We already uninstalled and installed again, like 5 times, and used programs to clean the register so nothing last. We ran out of options. ~Dyllan~ |

Click the "Restore Defaults" (sets to current 'System' defaults) or change the values on the screen that appears when you first click 'Convert' |

So it's not every format just after you try to reduce the margins? Since you are reducing the margins what is the input format you are using? Quote:
Good Luck with the heuristics. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 04-11-2011 at 12:21 AM. |

Well, it should have only reduced the margins, but it didn't.
We tried with PDF & LIT & RTF, and both got the broken lines. I tested all her files in my machine too, and they were converted normally w/o break lines. We've only tried to reduce the margins once, and that was when everything started. The problem was half resolved, I suggested her to try Calibre in another account on her notebook... It worked. She's using the Guest Account just for Calibre. ~Dyllan~ |

It's not just this file in particular. Each one we've tried was converted with this error. I tested it all in my own computer. They were converted just fine. Yes, 'the only thing to change' is really hilarious, because when we've restored the default/uninstalled and reinstalled, the only thing we saw that changed was that. All the other fields/values, were just like mine. The margins size weren't changed after the first time she tried to reduce. All we do when conversing, is select the book, choose the output format, and convert. Nothing else. We tried this with PDF, LIT & RTF. (Both input and output) Nothing came out right. The problem was half resolved, because we tried Calibre in Guest Account on her notebook, and it worked normally. No lines came out broken. I appreciate the help guys. ~Dyllan~ |

Thanks you guys.
I never had any problem with Calibre, but there's a first time for everything, I guess. I'll try what you said, and hope that this time work it Again, thanks. ~Dyllan~ |
