I have been trying to create a new e book on Smashwords, I have " Calibre E Book Program,"
it changes it but Smashwords won't accept it , how do I create a document from Open Office ?
Thanks...
Cheers..Joe.. Very Happy

Open Office, as I remember, works pretty much like Word. Just make sure you save it as a .doc

It's been a while since I used it, so I don't know the details, but it shouldn't be too difficult - you just have to get used to the functions being in a slightly different place on the toolbars.

Good luck, and let us all know how it works.

Smashwords now accepts epub files. What error messages are you getting? If you can't get in, I suggest a switch to Draft2Digital. They are reqponsive and helpful, and they cover all the same territory that Smashwords does.

Thank You ! The other day I downloaded a program
called " Nitro Pro 8," evidently it's not working, I've looked
for other programs to do word.doc, Open Office I have and
if I save it in word 2005 Smashwords won't accept it...

Smashwords will accept Word 97-2003 in word.doc, Joe.

Draft2Digital is still in beta testing. You send them a message via their site requesting to join as a beta tester. They email you the beta code.

I've used them for four titles. They had the books listed on iBooks, Kobo, and Pubit (Nook) within a matter of days. When I had a problem with a format, I got help from the CEO. They'll get you onto Kindle and Createspace (for a print edition) too. Good luck with it.
