Hello Phil, I have never used Pages to create ePub documents.
I currently have two novels published in the iBooks store and the application I use and strongly recommend, on the Mac that is, is an application called Storyist. Over the years I have worked with the developer and he has made the application VoiceOver accessible. Storyist may be more than you need but I wanted to post the link and a description here on the list for anyone who may be in the market for a high performance publishing application that is VoiceOver accessible. Description: Produce submission-ready manuscripts and screenplays Storyist provides a rich text editor with support for comments, images, headers, footers, and style sheets so you can create properly formatted manuscripts and screenplays. And Storyist comes with manuscript and screenplay templates so you can focus on the writing, not the formatting. Get a high-level view of your story Storyist lets you sketch out a story using index cards and then refine it with customizable plot, character, and setting sheets. When you're ready to put words on the page, Storyist can even display your index cards next to your manuscript as you write. Keep all your writing organized and accessible Storyist organizes your novel manuscripts, screenplays, research, and other project-related writing and can store them in the cloud so you can access them quickly wherever you are. http://storyist.com Good Luck, Mark -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Phil Halton Sent: Friday, July 17, 2015 7:17 PM To: Macvisionaries Subject: creating EPUB documents I want to be able to create ePub docs with chapter navigation for reading in VoiceDream reader. Is Pages the easiest way? Here’s what I’ve tried: 1 I loaded a text doc into pages and assigned heading style to various chapter titles. 2 I inserted a table of contents at the top of the doc from the insert menu, selecting the doc type from the submenu. 3 I exported the doc as type “epub”. 4 I loaded the ePub doc into VoiceDream reader, and it worked. I could navigate the doc by chapter title. Is this all there is to it? How about multi-level TOC entries, would they all still navigate by chapter navigation? That is, if I wanted to be able to move by sections, and then by chapters within sections, can that be done with a multi-level TOC exported to ePub? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
