Mobility Site - View Single Post - Making E-Book H*ll

There have been various threads about making e-books and converting documents, and I have been trying all of the advice therein but having no luck.

Since the Word plug-in does not work with W2003, I am SOL on that one. The LitSprout program wanted to turn every one of 237 footnotes into an entry in the table of contents, and they are checked as included by default. This meant I had to uncheck them all and then it didn't work even after I ran LitClean. I can't dowload the Overdrive program because the server resets each time I try when the file is 90% downloaded. I installed Palm Reader for PPC but the process for converting a document in Drop Book looks forbidding and more time-intensive than it would perhaps be worth.

I want to convert an article I've written into reader format so I can annotate it (even while I'm away) for revision. Should I just ditch Office 2003 and go back to the old version? Why does MS not have a converter for the latest version of Office? I have found the PDF reader very hard to read with other documents that I have gotten from JSTOR.
