BookCreator 3.0 Beta - Page 2

Cool.

I have a tiny suggestion for the template based on how I use it. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else uses it the same way.

In Calibre, I add my Word docs along with the original .txt or .pdf that I create ebooks from. I am working on converting some Gutenberg mythology books into a nice ebook format, and I have imported the .txt and/or .pdf text into a Word doc. It would be easier for me if the output from Bookcreator (e.g. the .lrf) was given the same name and saved in the same folder as the original Word doc (so it automatically overwrites the last version I created in my Calibre library).

Would anyone else find it useful for the filename and folder to default to the same as the Word doc you're currently editing (minus the file extension of course)?

It's not working for me, word 2003 does not reconize the file format

On your other question I don't use Calibre/BookCreator, but it is an interesting usage. Quite clever. It wouldn't be to hard to add a feature, like a button that used the current location of the Word document and the current name of the word document, sans the extension. I'll take a look at adding that feature

Oh, it's a shame it doesn't work. You can get an addin from Microsoft to read the new file formats, but I don't know if that extends to templates. If there is demand for the 2007 version I am happy to update a version of the template each time you release a new 2003 version. All I'd need to do is save a copy in .dotm format and paste in the ribbon code.

I made a copy of Bookcreator and hacked in an override to the filename/folder for my own use

but a button would be great. On the other hand, I should rename my ebooks in the same convention that Bookcreator uses anyway because it makes sense. I do the same thing for my MP3s (thankfully I don't have anywhere near as many ebooks as music files).

Since I can't use your template would you mind zipping up and posting the images you used for the menus along with a screen capture of your modified 2007 template?

Thank you

That didn't really work for me. I have Word 2007 and I keep getting the GUIBUILDER error.

Did you install ePublisher? The details is on post 10 of this thread.

First thing I did. Even tried djgreedo's template.

It appears the marcos are not working. What is the security setting on Word2007. You have to set the security very low to get them to work.

I enabled all macros a while ago.

Here's the thing now, all the formatting functions work except conversion.

Check the paths BookCreator assumes the default path for calibre. If you changed the default path you'll have to update BC to point to calibre. Also I only need the path not the name of the executable.

Also what version of calibre do you have installed?

Sorry, just moved yesterday.

I get a "Project is unviewable" error in VB when I try to look at the BookCreator template. And I'm running 0.6.8 Calibre.

Kosst I'll PM you

Any advice?
