MAC WORDSERVICE REFORMAT PRO

And it works in all programs that allow you to create or edit text. The “Reformat” option goes through and replaces the newlines with CR/LF as is proper. Installing it, adds a slew of options in the “Services” menu option under the Application name menu item (sorry, Mac only). Fixing the newlines into proper paragraph breaksįortunately, there was a really kickass utility called Wordservice – freeware from Devonthink, that adds a bunch of really killer services. Sadly, I figured this out after completing 20 or so conversions. Weird text display, and faulty chapter breaks. This caused some really weird things when it created a ePub. Perhaps in the late 1990’s when they were originally ripped, this was state of the art. Not sure if this was caused by the original conversion from print, or the translation into the BBeB format, but instead of proper CR/LF’s it was littered with soft newline characters. This was workable, but I learned a few things, and improved my processes: First – OCR Conversion issues

Then I was using Nisus Writer Pro to clean them up, and then finally copy the text to Apple Pages for the final tweaks.

In the last installment, I used Calibre to convert the original BBeB format (Sony) files into rich text files. I recently posted about finally finding a workflow to properly convert a cache of old Doc Savage books to ePub files.
