How to create a text file using Notepad.If anyone is having trouble getting their styles just right, feel free to email me–jayewmanus at gmail dot com–and I can probably come up with just the paragraph style you need.
Armed with only a few lines of code, you can create beautiful ebooks and some very interesting text effects. In Part 3 I’ll show you how to convert your file into a MOBI file that works. See, that wasn’t so hard was it? Now you have a serviceable html file you can convert into an ebook. To see your styling live, in the menu bar you will see “Run.” Click it and in the drop down menu choose “Launch in (whatever browser you use)” Here is mine in Firefox: In the drop down menu it will say: Convert to UTF-8 without BOM. Step 9: In the menu bar in Notepad++ find Encoding and click it. Select them, copy them and paste them into a new text file. In my example there are three: MsoNormal, Center, and h1. (by the way, if your Notepad++ file doesn’t look the same as mine, it’s because I have turned off word wrap and eliminated the extra soft returns) If you styled your document the same way I did, you will have two lines of code–one at the beginning that says something like and a closing tag at the end of the document.

STEP 3: Turn your special formatting tags into proper html tagsĮasy to do with Find/Replace in Notepad++. Holy Moley! This is what it looks like?!? NOTE: If your ebook is as simple as the one I’m using as an example, with no images and limited styles, you can stop right now and directly upload your Word file to Amazon. But trust me, if you can copy/paste, you can do this. If you’re not familiar with html, what happens next is going to be freaky.
