Blurb update
OK, I’ve been wrestling with Blurb.
I do think they have lovely products–I just hope I can get there.
The application is very verrrrrrry slow–and I read on one of the their forums to be sure and NOT cut and paste directly from Word. Evidently, one should paste what’s in Word into Notebook, or something similar, and then paste into Blurb. Even with this added step, there’s no way it can be slower than what I’ve been dealing with.
I haven’t tried pasting the text into Notebook or Wordpad yet–but I will. I have about 46 pages of text and I thought perhaps the reason it was so slow was that it was so text heavy. Many of the other books appear to have lots of graphics–we’ll have some, but not many. Apparently the problem is all the formatting that comes with a paste-in from Word.
Stay tuned. I really really want to get this book done but I don’t want to have to fight with a program to do it. If the interim step for simplifying pasting in text doesn’t work, I think I’ll have to find another application.
Just so you know–
