Microsoft Reader help?

[annathepiper]

Anybody out there know how to format a file for Microsoft Reader? I'm trying to play with formatting a file of mine into Reader format, but I can't figure out how to make it do chapter breaks.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm using the add-in that you can install for Word to take an existing document and make it spit out a .lit file--which seems to work just grand, except that I can't tell if there's something I should do to my document to make it do proper chapter breaks. If I were doing something with stylesheets that link would be useful, maybe, but this is just an .rtf file I'm trying to feed through the add-in.

Thanks, though!

i think for it to have proper chapter breaks & whatnot, you need to have the word file already in chapter format...
bb - slow off the mark these days

"In chapter format" doesn't mean anything to me. Is there some sort of specific thing I have to do in Microsoft Word in order to prep it to convert to Reader format that you know of?

(Since I made this post, I've tried a couple of different things: the Add-In tool that I was trying before, which adds a conversion button to a toolbar within Word itself, and something called ReaderWorks, which lets me actually take a bunch of separate chapter files and roll them all together into one big .lit file. Which is kind of what I wanted in the first place, though I have to save the individual files in .doc rather than .rtf, and I prefer .rtf format. But!)
