How do I change the amount of paragraph indents? I've changed the tab setting and I've even converted the tabs into spaces and I still get indents that are too large.
Also, I want to set a base font that is not too small. I tried doing a --base-font-size in the advanced and that did not work. If these two issues could be fixed, this would be a very nice tool. Thanks. Last edited by JSWolf; 11-15-2008 at 05:06 AM. |

Hi Jon
You did not mention where you are having the problem ePUB, LRF, or within BookCreator. I’ll take the shotgun approach and answer for all the platforms. Question 1: Font size setting For ePUB/LRF you do not have to use ‘--base-font-size’ there is a GUI setting. (See attahced thumbnail image ) For ePUB/LRF To change the default font size use the “Base Font “, located under the “Page Layout” tab. The default size is “8”, change it to your preferred size. I believe you like 10? BookCreator To permanently change the font size on BookCreator.(until the next upgrade). 1) Open up BookCreator.dot via the “File|Open…” menu option 2) Navigate to the BookCreator.dot file 3) Right click on the “_1 Text” Style located under the “Styles and Formats” and selected the “Modify…” menu option. 4) Depress the <Format> button and select the “Fonts…” menu. //Once the font changes are made save and close the file. Question 2: Paragraph indentation: ePUB It seems calibre’s ePUB seems to have some issues with CSS created from MS Word/BookCreator. The result is calibre ends up using it’s default CSS. The only workaround at the time is for the user to pass in their CSS commands under the “Additional Parameters” edit box. LRF For LRF calibre is very good at using the stylesheets so changes must be made in Bookcreator . BookCreator To permanently change the font size on BookCreator.(until the next upgrade). Note: Paragraph settings are unique to each style. So you will have to repeat for each style you want to modify. 1) Open up BookCreator.dot via the “File|Open…” menu option 2) Navigate to the BookCreator.dot file 3) Right click on the “_1 Text” Style located under the “Styles and Formats” and selected the “Modify…” menu option. 4) Depress the <Format> button and select the “Paragraph…” menu. 5) Change indentation section //Note: The Left/Right edit boxes change the whole paragraph. The Special section changes the first line indent among other specialized paragraph features =X= Last edited by =X=; 11-15-2008 at 05:49 PM. Reason: Fixed spelling |

Thanks for the help, +x+.
I did figure it out: since I am using 64bit Vista, the path to the Calibre files was wrong. I have to point to Program File (x86). Duh:-) Thanks again! |

Im not sure how stupid I am being, but once I have opened up bookcreator in word, nothing appears to be happening?
There is no indication where to select the styles or gui, to conver a file? I dont get it. |

Finally, Finally, Finally found a tool that works on a Windows Vista Machine in Word 2007, and can convert my writings initially in DOCX to LRF for the Sony Reader.
Wicked, thanks |

Hi, I'm having problems with Book Creator.
Mac OS X Tiger. I'm using Word 2004 (VB enabled, unlike latest version). Latest versionof Calibre. When I click on the .dot file, I get a message saying: "Could not open macro storage." The next message is: "Compile Error Expected: Identifier" Then three windows open up: one VB project window, another VB Kernel window, and what looks like a tree of VB folders. Any suggestions? |

Hi,
So far, I have been unable to create an ebook for my EB1150. I tried to find a manual of sorts that would tell me, for instance, where to install the BookCreator.dot file; I have first tried a directory of its own, then I relocated it in the directory where impbuild.exe it. When I use the "IMP" button, I select the directory where I want the .imp file to be, but apparently no .imp file is created - nor is one found by an explorer file search... Can anyone please help? |

I am havong a similar problem mentioned in an earlier post. I am using BC 2.52, Vista 64, Word 2007, and Calibre 4.103.
I am sure I have the path set properly to Calibre, which in my case is C:\Calibre. I go through all the steps just fine and hit the LRF button to create my LRF file and all seems to go well, but I can never find the LRF file - as if it was never created. It is very frustrating as BC seems to be an excellent program. Help please. |
