I want to make an e book for Nook etc. I have uploaded a doc. file but then the e pub converter gave me this message
Text boxes were found in the document and must be removed.
Tables were found in the document and must be replaced with images of the table contents.I am not sure what it means I have contacted support but haven't received a reply. can anyone enlighten me.Thanks for any help.
Table of Contents:
A traditional Table of Contents (one that is inside your book) is NOT necessary for eBooks, as eBooks use a different type of navigation. Learn more in 'Setting up your EPUB Table of Contents'. If you do choose to include a traditional Table of Contents, ensure it does not have page numbers.
and it includes a hot link that describes how to do a table of contents that is NOT the usual style or way .
Remove Text Boxes:
The Lulu EPUB Converter cannot convert documents with text boxes. You will have to remove them from your document by searching your pages to find text boxes. Click on a page and hunt through your headers and footers. The automatic page numbering feature in Word uses text boxes, so remove those. To find text boxes, make sure you are viewing your document with the “Print Layout” (under the View menu) and select all of the text (CTRL+A). Text boxes will show as dashed or solid lines.
I don't use MS Word, and haven't for years, so I forgot it uses text boxes for page numbers etc.
