Problems Seperating Paragraphs
Hey there!
I'm having a problem with converting Ebooks into Doc files. Whenever I do so, the paragraphs keep getting all squashed together. I looked into the settings, set it to placing a space between each paragrapph, turned it on, but it doesn't seem to work. So far it's only adding spacing after each chapter section and special sections that might come directly after the chapter title and subtitle. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. |

See ==>> How to ask a question about conversion problems
What is 'squished together'? Do you mean there are no blank lines between paragraphs or that paragraphs run on - so that there is only one paragraph per chapter/section? White space, as in extra blank lines, tabs etc, are an anathema in ebooks and well formed WP documents - use margins/line spacing. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 01-31-2020 at 12:44 AM. |

Line spaces between paragraphs is not good formatting. It's lazy harder to read formatting.

Maybe not but I'm not looking to read them on an Ebook reader. I'm looking to convert them into word documents to read on my computer as well as seperate chapters in parts. Especially when the books are textbooks or non fiction books. I have a couple of programs I'm working on studying and it's easier for me to have seperate chapters laid out easy to find and read at my own pace.
Plus, I'm mostly blind and use a screen reader. Finding some way to put spacing and the like between paragraphs would make things easier or better for me. As for what's going on and what I mean by squished is that there are no seperation between paragraphs and sometimes they end up being ran together. This second one especially happens when I'm trying to convert a glossery from a book. |

Yeah, that does seem a little much for what I'm trying to do. I just find it weird that the setting in Calibur didn't do it when I tried setting it to spacing between paragraphs. Weird.

I've not looked at a word document created by calibre but I wonder if it could be as simple as just changing the word stylesheet used by the resulting file to change it's paragraph styling to include paragraph spacing?
