list.

- from First Heading The first heading text will be extracted as chapter title. If there's no heading in the chapter, file name will be used instead.
(This is added from version 1.2) - Auto Split Word HTML* Split Word HTML into pieces on section breaks, this function will make ePub more fast to load and paging, and a TOC(list of chapter titles) can be generated naturally. Strongly recommended.
- Generate a Title Page Insert a separate title page with book name and author, if there's no cover and not title in side you can use this function to create a simple text cover page.
- Optimize Word HTML* Make Word generated HTML clean and neat,
strongly recommended.

Extreme Mode Only keep document outline, can be used with Replace Style.
- Pass ePubCheck Assures the result epub can pass the
strict check of epubcheck. But ePubcheck doesn't mean the epub standard of
Apple or Adobe. About 95% documents can be guaranteed, but document
with nested tables and list will
fail.
* The option will only effect import from Word and need re-import for modification to take effect.
Advanced
- Absolute Font Size Checking this will make device can not change the font size, only for special purpose.
- Relative Font Size - em ePub Maker will convert absolute font size information in Word into relative font size on em, so that reader can scale font size.
- Relative Font Size - 7 levels Convert absolute font size into a simpler relative font size system, font sizes will be divided into 7 basic levels ( according to CSS standard).
- em Base Font Size
By default(auto), ePub Maker can pick up the default font size in Word as base font size for 1em,
if this is not proper, you can specify your base font size to scale whole font sizes.
For example, if base font size is 16px (1em = 16px), 32px font will be converted into 2em, and so on. - Allow Page Break From ePub Maker 1.7, page break is supported. Page break in Word can be converted into ePub page break automatically. But due to a bug of Word, which will generate page break information inside table cell or other position invalid for ePub(this Word bug can not be corrected or patched by ePub Maker), we have to offer this option for such occasion to delete page breaks to get valid ePub.
- Allow Line Height Line Height is very important for print in Word, but eReaders allow font scaling, static line height may not fit. You can check this off to delete line-height information to allow eReaders use their default line height or check it on to reserve your original line height. Allow Page Break
- Allow Negative Value If there're negative value in Word style, such as margin, letter spacing, you can reserve or delete these values by checking this option. Negative value can make your content looks weird on screen, so option default is unchecked.
- Remove HTML Element You can remove some kinds of HTML element in all your web pages.
All above items need re-import to take effect.
