PRS-505 for Christmas - lots of questions

Jaimi · 12-25-2007, 07:37 PM

Hi -

I just recieved a PRS-505 for Christmas. Overall, I really like it. I do have a a question:

Some (most) of the text files that I import look kind of funny in the reader. Is there a way to autoformat them so they are justified? (external utility, etc) Maybe strip off extra Carriage Returns at the end of each line?

*edit* "Lots of questions" doesn't apply - I was able to consolidate them down to just one, but forgot to change the subject line. Sorry!

Yes there is. Search the forums for Stingo's macro. Paste the text file into word then run the macro and your text will flow beautifully and paragraph breaks will be preserved.

Thank you both - I've got it working now, and it makes a world of difference. I ended up using the OpenOffice macro so I could use it from my home desktop, and it works like a charm.
