RE: opening xml files
Basically you should be able to open an .xml file in any text editor or popular web-editer, as xml is a text file. TextWrangler is a freeware editor that supports XML syntax colours (www.barebones.com) or BBEdit (also barebones - commercial) or Oxygen XML Author (commercial) And if you have something like Adobe Dreamweaver that will open it as well and support syntax colouring.

Neither cover damage. But, if your friend lives in, or near Perth, he/she could try taking it to the Apple Store in Perth, they 'might' replace the screen at no charge. Apple have been know to replace an iPod Touch screen at no charge on occasion. Otherwise somewhere around $150 for the replacement parts and repair.

InDesign User Group meeting Wed. 5 Oct.
(Sorry didn't mean to make this sound like an advert, but more speaking from one UG to another ;-) ) Not sure if there are any InDesign users amongst WAMUG. But just in case... there's an InDesign User Group meeting tomorrow. Membership is free, but you must register to attend. Tomorrow's meeting is a 'back to the basics' meeting, in which we go over lots of tips and tricks in working with Paragraph and Character styles. Great meeting to attend for beginners but also intermediate users who will without a doubt pick up some cool tricks as well. ;-) http://www.indesignusergroup.com/chapters/perth/events/1914/ We'll also be giving away a license of Adobe InDesign CS5.5 at the end of the evening.

RE: Epub files
There are a number of Word to EPUB converters out there. Most do require that the Word document is properly structured before converting. E.g. use Heading 1, Heading 2 etc. consistently. Use Sections properly etc. Avoid style sheet overrides. This ensures that your document is properly broken up into separate html files based on sections, that correct tags are added to the html. You might need to break open the generated EPUB and perform some manual fixes to the html-files and css that's being generated to ensure it all works in iBooks, e.g. such as setting cover image, metadata etc. Cari -- www.twitter.com/carijansen From: wamug-ow...@wamug.org.au [mailto:wamug-ow...@wamug.org.au] On Behalf Of Lloyd White Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2011 3:55 PM To: WAMUG Subject: Epub files Hi everyone. Is there any one in WAMUG who is knowledgeable about creating ePub files that can be read on an iPad? I have a MS Word (2011) document that I want to convert to ePub. I have saved it as PDF and used Calibre to convert it but it comes out ok in parts and totally mixed up in other parts. Calibre says that PDF is the least preferred format to convert from, with .lit as the best. In order of decreasing preference: LIT, MOBI, EPUB, FB2, HTML, PRC, RTF, PDB, TXT, PDF I nave never heard of .lit - can .doc be converted to .lit on a Mac? I have read Apple's support info on it using Pages. I could import the document into Pages, and export it as an epub but I would have to reformat it with Pages' limited formatting abilities. 260 pages is a lot to reformat. Ideally I would like to export the Word version in a format suitable for conversion to epub without loss of format. I can't find anything on the net to do this except Calibre. Failing to do all this, does anyone know of a firm that could produce an epub book of about 260 pages from a MS Word 2011? thanks Lloyd _ -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

I format the cells in question to FormatCellsCustom, and then enter something like 'ddd dd mm '. I then enter a numerical date and the ddd part displays the day of the week.

Give your customer the https://public.me.com/etc address for the iDisk public folder. They can now log-in on Mac or PC using a web browser, all they need is the Password, and then click Log In.

Is the EPUB DRM-free? In that case you should be able to view the EPUB in any number of EReaders, including iBooks or Stanza. Here’s what I do: Click the iPad Device in iTunes Click Summary and under Options: Enable “Manually manage music and videos” To load the book into iBooks: Drag and drop the .EPUB file on to your iPad Device. OR To load the EPUB in other apps (e.g. Stanza, Bluefire Reader, Kobo etc.): Click Apps Scroll to the bottom of the Apps window until you see “File Sharing” Select the App in which you want to load the EPUB Then click Add... and choose the file.
