Battling with the conversion of documents

Friday, 24th June.

The resolution and de-escalation of the previously mentioned conflict appears to be progressing, as judged by the e-mails still circulating

It being a Friday, the accumulated work and urgency combined with a minimum of a couple of hours to progress, before setting of to HBN for a relatively quiet meeting . This was followed by a Tutorcloud session, where we progressed with practical procedures and instructions for potential users.

My battle of the day was getting an understanding of the finer points of converting a word processor generated text into an e-book. This being part of an exercise in trying to generate my own book on the subject in a form far more comprehensible than this document. Effectively, the conversion means translating a text from one electronic dialect to another, via an intermediary language. It required time and learning by trial and error, to gain an understanding of how different routes worked, their successes and their pitfalls. It was a very late night.
