OOo 3.2.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 I've just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find why an odt file comprising 69 chapters has repeatedly given me 84 chapters when converted to epub.
I have now found that 15 paragraphs had a page break the end instead of a paragraph. Page break is used prima facie as evidence of a new page in the conversion program I use. It was turning on View/Non-printing Characters, and seeing that the two symbols were the same which put me on the track. I found the appropriate chapter, went through the last few paragraphs taking away the symbol at the end of paragraphs and replacing it with a paragraph symbol, and suddenly I have my 69 chapters back. Would be nice if there was a difference between paragraph and page break so one could see that. Similarly, when converting the same document from rtf format to epub, I have seven chapters. I suspect that the only reason I have seven is that the converting program (Calibre) has a default value for a chapter size of 256 KB, and that it is this that gives me the seven chapters. I don't know how rtf handles page breaks. Can anyone enlighten me? I don't see anything when rtf is loaded into its default program, textedit, that shows it knows about page breaks.
