Website Book

As you may or may not already know I have a website that lists alll the work the producer & Director Dirk Maggs has done. As I was looking for a writing project I thought it would be a good idea to produce a book from the contents of the website.

Little did I know what I was letting myself in for, as the book is some 300 pages long when using an A4 layout. The bigest single cause of %%$^%$$ has been Microsoft Word, which for some reason was falling over. I do not understand why as I have written a much larger book and did not have much if any trouble. In fact the last book that I wrote had 26 pages of contents so that should give you some idea as to how large that book was.

Anyway as I was saying the current book is 310 pages of A$ with 6 pages of contents and a file size of 6 Megs. The only thing that I can think of that is making word fall over is the picture that are in the book.

So as I said at the start of this the book is nearly done and I must admit that it has been over a month in doing the conversion from web pages to word or text pages, this was a surprize to me as I thought the task would have taken much less time.

So all I now have to do is get the page numbering right spell check it and then convert it to a PDF file and upload to my Lulu page, I will report back on progress.
