Microsoft Word questions
Hello All,
I been following the threads and the various reviews on the Sony Portable Reader. I have a tablet PC but like the travel ability of the Sony Reader. However, I mainly wish to use it for my Dungeons & Dragons Gaming Sessions. Could some of you owners of the Sony Reader help me with the questions below? How are Microsoft Word docs converted or otherwise ported over to the reader? Are the font sizes, formatting (bold, italics, underline, etc) kept? Will the author and title of said documents be generated in the reader menu by the properties of each individual word file? For example how would a file like this look on the reader? http://www.anime-adventurers.net/sony/ |

First off, welcome to MobileRead, urklore!

You may want to do the PDF option for that because for some reason RTF doesn't display in-line images and such at the moment. Quote:

For it to show in the Reader it must be added in the Properties box within Word. Select File | Properties

Duke's right, the properties box that you can modify in Windows Explorer file view does not input to the same Properties box as Word and the Reader use.
I have played around with Open Office Writer 2.1 and not been able to get their properties to show up in the Reader either. |

Thank you for clarifying this matter. If I am not mistaken, I may not be the only one that has been misled about this.

Hello I got my sony reader two days ago and I am still trying to find the best format for reading on it. I mostly read manuals, but perhaps now when its more convinient to "carry" the books I will read more novels to. I have tried PDFrasterFarian 2.1.4, and it works nice, but I realy like the size button when reading the lrf books. So then I thought I should try the rtf format. But the reader gets hung and I have to reset, when I try the following book, in word fromat.
