EPUB to DOCX Missing Text

[neumaticpoetic]

Hi,

I wanted to highlight a problem that i have had recently with conversion from EPUB to DOCX. I noticed that the output docx file is randomly missing text when comparing it against the original EPUB.

I recently updated to Calibre 2.62.0 and have not noticed this problem previously but to be honest i might not of noticed this problem in previous versions.

This is a huge problem for me as it means i now have to proof read and review a huge amount of work.

I should add that i am using Windows version of Calibre.
When doing conversion i leave all options at default apart from checking box to output to A4, and checking box to not generate table of contents, and not generate front cover.

I am not sure if it makes any difference but the epubs Iam converting or at least the two i can confirm as definitely a problem is 18mb.

Another question am i taking the correct approach with trying to convert to docx should i be using a different input? I want to have the most reliable means of converting into a word file.

Any help and advice much appreciated.

If you report the problem at Bugs : calibre, with attachments, you can mark it Private.

You can also convert EPUB's to DOCX using this Word Addin e-Book Tools - a Word add-in. I rarely convert EPUB to DOCX but when I do I use this tool for reasons I have forgotten; I have the addin installed primarily for its other features.
