Frequently Asked Questions - EBooksWriter

1. Is EbooksWriter HTML compatible?
   Our ebook program has its own internal standard that's independent of HTML. It will display on any PC as it doesn't need any Explorer, Netscape or any other browser installed.
   
   
2. I am very interested in your compiler. What program would you suggest that I write my document in so that I can take advantage of the features but is not too complex?
   EbooksWriter is an all-in-one tool! It encloses a powerful multi-page editor and can "compile" the ebook with just a click. No external programs are needed!!!
   
   
3. I want to evaluate your program, but I can't get started. I have a manuscript all ready. I want to know how to get it into the program in order to continue and eventually see how your program compiles it. What are my first steps?
   If your work is in another text format, use "File >Import", then choose the format, then drag from the left to the right the files to be imported. If not, just start the program and type on the keyboard. CTRL+ for adding new pages. EBooksWriter has its own editor for creating ebooks, you don't need external programs. See also the Tutorials, F1 then "Tutorials".
   
   
4. I've not been able to find out if I can have different colors for links in the same page...
   You should define different text styles. Each text style can have its own color/style for the links. Use "Format >Styles", then the last tab ("link"). You can also set up the style of the link (underlined, bold, etc.).
   
   
5. Where can I find information about pages contained in a hypertext / ebook? How can I manage pages?
   Creation: "Insert >New page", "Insert >Link", "Insert >Special link".
   Deletions, management: "Hypertext >Images - files - link archive and erase".
   Access: "Hypertext >Go to page", the bottom center page number box, click the right mouse button on this box.
   
   
6. I don't understand how to insert a link.
   Select a text block, then press the button with a page and chain. In the window displayed, you can link to an existing page in the hypertext, or to a newer one - more options are also available.
   For example you choose "new page", then press OK. EbooksWriter will create the new page for you, and will show the page in the editor. If you link to an existing page, you can choose it from an active preview - active means that you can navigate through it like in a browser. When you press OK, the link is made and EbooksWriter shows the destination page in the editor. See also the tutorial in the online help (F1 then "Tutorials").
   
   
7. When I have to write words in 3 columns do I have to insert a table or can I just use the space bar?
   It is better to use a table. Never use the space bar as, if you view the page from another PC, the size of the space might be different and you will lose the alignment.
   
   
8. Is there any way to assign an image as a border for a page? I have an image that is about 1 inch wide and I want it wrapped around the page. Can this be done?
   You can create a table with 3 rows x 3 columns, and use the image as the background for the 8 externals cells (click the right mouse button from within the cell, then select "Properties"). If you edit the Style of the paragraph that contains the table ("Format >Styles"), you can eliminate the upper and external borders that this solution often leaves.
