Guest Maha_Pavitar Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Pyareo, I visited Abacci Books and downloaded 'Montaigne Essays' but it came in .txt format which is very hard to read and navigate in.. What's the best option to convert? Microsoft Reader? PDF--but still you won't be able to click on Chapter 5 in the contents (there won't be any linking).. Thanks.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaapaaraa Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Give me the link to the book..Maybe I can write a script that will divide all the txt into various chapters.. and then an html file linking all together would be fine.. Another thing you can do is make an html file.. and in that have a href labels.. that point to various sections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maha_Pavitar Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 How I wish I had the time The Html idea is something I didn't even think about, will try it soon.. What files work with Microsoft Reader then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaapaaraa Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 You can convert to microsoft reader format from your word doc file using this plugin Download it here http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/rmr.asp Create eBooks from Microsoft Word version 2002 or Microsoft Word version 2003 files at the click of a button. The Read in Microsoft Reader (RMR) add-in for Microsoft Word enables you to convert any Word document into a Microsoft Reader format eBook in just a few simple steps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideal Singh Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Yaa... Bookmarking in Adobe Reader is the simplest... Just import the text file into reader and use bookmarking... I thought it was simple... :roll: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maha_Pavitar Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I thought of that too..but table of contents linking..plus too many pages..I was under the impression that Microsoft Reader had some quick conversion method.. Queen of Adobe :roll: lol..not quite there yet! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Haye Bill Gate ji ( usually normall ppl say Rab ji ), All that time Summeet kaur is spending on bookmarking the chapters in this book, she could have read it from begining to the end.

Ideal Singh Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 LoL !!! How many chapters there are to bookmark... ? It should not be big problem... again as always --> I wonder... Summeet Penji, koyee naa carry on the hard work... but after finishing the bookmarking, upload the same on a FTP server for the benefit of rest of the sangat... Its amazing how one person does the hard work and the millions take advantage... So what ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyDudesWassup Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 I thought PDF was Ebook? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maha_Pavitar Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 PDF is Portable Document Format, it's a universal file format created by ADOBE (!!!) allowing people to read, share, view electronic documents with any type of formatting (fonts, size, colour, images) regardless of the software or OS you created it in. E-Books is a generic term for electronic books, used for desktop/laptops or even Pocket Pc's. E-Books require an E-reader, Microsoft Reader is quite popular, of course Adobe Acrobat Reader (for PDF files) or simply Microsoft Word or .txt files also work.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
