MobiPocket Creator - Cause of My Insanity!

FrederickS · Sep 2, 2011

Okay, you guys got me all inspired so I finished a WIP (A humorous political dictionary with tons of "Demotivational Posters), designed the cover page etc... and am now trying to work with this stupid program.
I imported my file which has a LOT of images. The images are not in the place they were on the Word doc. Screws up my juju.
So then I made a copy of the file without the images and uploaded that. Can't figure out how to put the images in.
There is an HTML editor but I'm not that guy.

I just saved a duplicate of my word doc in HTML. Will that help keep the pics in the same place as when I view them on my PC?
Update: saving to html doesn't seem to help.

Help!

I can gander at the problem. You're using Word to make a mobi file. Am I close?

I can't help you with this, Frederick, but we probably have some people here who can.

Be patient. It is a holiday weekend for many people here. You might want to just step away from the problem for a while (if you're getting frustrated).

Sorry if I'm not the right person Frederick. I can still try and help you though.

Because you are likely using some complicated formatting, it sounds like you will have to clean up the html. I personally don't know how to do that unless you try working with the code. I know it sounds intimidating but html is a lot easier to work with than you might think.

Maybe if you post an example of something specific that's giving you trouble I could walk you through how to fix it.

I got it! The 2012 Dictionary of Politics and Politically Incorrect Definitions is now on Amazon!
Woohoo!
You guys are both helpful and inspirational! Thanks!
