jrdaigle1000:

While most of wish that we could be 100% backward compatible, with the number of iterations that are released every year it just isn't possible.

However, there are some excellent 3rd party tools that could help you solve your issue one of which is Readerworks Standard (http://www.overdrive.com/readerworks...e/standard.asp)which converts Word Documents, HTML, OeB package files, Text (ASCII) and images (JPG, GIF, PNG)to .lit and it is FREE :). It supports custom covergraphics, table of contents inclusion as well as other compelling features.

If this doesn't meet your needs there are also a number of other tools resources listed on the Microsoft Reader website (http://www.microsoft.com/reader).

Christine - Microsoft Reader Team
