I need to find SOMEbody who can read the epub documentation (which, I observe, is online) well enough to teach me the rudiments of turning an .rtf file into .epub. I've already mentioned how my daughter has what amounts (with commute time) to a thirteen-hour work day, and when she gets home all she wants to do is sit down and watch NCIS while she works on her embroidery. :) Maybe I can drag Hal away from LotRO and his blog-watching long enough to read the stuff. LotRO I can always join him in; it's the blogs that are the problem. -- Dorothy J. Heydt Vallejo, California djheydt at gmail dot com Should you wish to email me, you'd better use the gmail edress.
