I uploaded AGF into Smashword's Meatgrinder 37 times. Each time, I'd go back to their template and slavishly study the Style Guide, tweak and resubmit. Finally, it dawned on me that it wasn't me, it was Meatgrinder shifting paragraphs and formatting, a new and different problem each time. As if this cookbook weren't hard enough...
It was time to try something new.
Enter OpenOffice. The freeware office program has an Epub creating extension called Writer2Epub that is FINALLY getting my cookbook to look good. I nearly sobbed with relief last night on seeing my book load last night in Adobe Reader as a proper ebook. As a result, I hope to release the cookbook shortly and get on with my life. Thank God.
Its been the craziest year. Fire, death, upheaval...and that was just my computers. I'm ready for the holidays.
Glad to hear you found a solution;) Frustrations like that turn me into Guy Smiley from sesame street, banging my head against the piano shouting my frustrations. Glad you figured it out without going Guy Smiley over it:)
