Thanks guys
Mnawij, I tried a couple of the products you mentioned and they worked quite well but I would have had to do quite a bit of tweaking.
Calibre would have required virtually a re-write.
Nermander, yes I was getting round to thinking I had started things the wrong way round, so perhaps I will have to go back to my previous format of using Dreamweaver.
Unless anyone one can advise me of an Epub based self publishing system I could use.
I do have the consolation that all will not be lossed as I still have all my preparatory work done, so it will be relatively easy to use elsewhere.
I would like to say that I have now tried Scribus and I quite liked using it, despite the odd glich or two

I think I will keep it on board for a while, who know I might find other reasons to use the format.
So thanks guys for your replies it is appreciated. Tg
