Re: FM 8 to ePub?

Hi Tina... Since ePub is an output format, it seems that you should be migrating from FM to whatever you're going to use for authoring/maintenance, then figure out how to get from that format to ePub. Unless these books are just to be published to ePub and never touched again. With ePub, it

RE: FM 8 to ePub?

I actually knew the price. My main point is that the OP did not want "to invest any more than needed"--the price should have been noted. Of course, "than needed" is a vague term, since $795 for conversion of 10 books is certainly not that much per book. I think the RTF to InDesign method should wor

InDesign actually has quite a bit of Frame-like features, including straddled heads. Not everything, of course, but a lot and more with each version. Some things, like tables, typography, graphics, and ePubs are much more advanced in InDesign. Generally, it is RTF as the middle man that lacks the f

RE: Re: FM 8 to ePub?

I exported some Frame 7 files out as HTML and converted to basic ePub using Calibre (donation-ware) for a client. I also tuned up the ePub in Sigil. As long as your formatting needs are basic, it worked OK. Another option is to save as RTF and use Calibre or import into InDesign. If you show impo
