PROJECT FILES

In this example mybook is our Project Folder.

All files in the Project Folder will be included, indicated by the checks to the left of the filenames.

	The Project Files screen is where you choose your Project Folder (aka *Project Directory*) and make file selections.
	By default, all recognized file types will be included. If you would like to exclude any files, un-check the box to the left of the filename.

TIP	Don't forget that all the files for you e-book (pictures and HTML) must be within ONE folder. We'll be referring to this as your Project Folder.

Selecting your HOME Page

Begin by clicking the Browse button. Locate your Project Folder (the folder containing all of your e-book files). Click OK and your file list will appear.

Locate the HTML file which will be your Homepage. This will be the first page your visitor sees when they open your e-book.

The Right-click option list

In this example, a house icon indicates that index.html is the homepage.

Click on the file so the row becomes highlighted. Right-click on the file, and an options list will appear.

Choose Set as Homepage. A picture of a house will appear to the right of the file name indicating it has been selected.

Selecting a Custom Security Notice Page

If you will be using your own custom Security Notice Page you must select it here. This is optional and will be discussed in more detail later.

In this example, an exclamation mark indicates that security.htm is the notice page.

Right-click on the HTML file and choose Set As Security Notice Page in the option list.

An exclamation mark will appear to the right of the file name indicating it has been selected.

Securing your Pages

If you are using Password Protection or Advanced Authentication security features, you must select which pages you want to secure. (Security methods will be discussed in more detail in a later step).

In this example, checks indicate that chapter2.html, and chapter3.html are both secured.

If you plan on securing your entire e-book, Right-click on any file name, and select Toggle Security On All Pages. Repeating this will turn security off on all pages.

If you are only securing some pages in your e-book, Right-click each file name, and select Toggle Security. You can also check the box to the far right of each file name.

Optimizing your HTML Content

The Content optimization screen.

The Content Optimization screen will provide assistance if your HTML pages are not displaying correctly in the viewer. This feature is useful for users who have converted their HTML pages from a different source (such as a Microsoft Word file, or PDF Presentation).

Converting your HTML pages from a different format may leave some 'junk' code in the files. This non-HTML code can cause your pages to not display correctly. Optimizing will not fix poorly written or incorrect code!

Select Clean up my HTML files to have your pages optimized.

TIP

When using optimization, the original HTML files in your Project Folder will not be modified. Changes will only effect the pages of your generated e-book file.

Adding Custom Fonts

You can include any non-standard fonts you use in your e-book, so your reader can see them as well.

Click add a font to the list and browse through the fonts currently installed on your computer.

Click to highlight the font you want to install (a preview is shown in the top right of the window). Click OK and the font will appear in the list.

Most computers have these standard fonts built-in:

Arial
Verdana
Times New Roman
Courier
Comic
Tahoma

The Fonts screen with the add a font to the list dialog box visible


TIP	If you are using only standard windows fonts in your project, you can skip this step.
