Word to EPUB Conversion FAQ
How do I get clean chapters in the EPUB?
+
Use real heading styles in the Word — Heading 1 for chapters, Heading 2 for sections. The converter builds the ebook structure and table of contents from those styles. Text that merely looks like a heading because it is big and bold produces a book with no navigation at all.
Will my Word page layout be preserved?
+
Deliberately not. EPUB is reflowable XHTML in a zip — text re-lays-out to any screen width, which is why e-readers prefer it, so text re-lays-out to whatever screen it is opened on. Fixed page breaks, columns, precise positioning and headers/footers are dropped because they are meaningless when the reader can change the font size.
Will the EPUB work on a Kindle?
+
EPUB is accepted by every current Kindle via Send-to-Kindle, and by every other e-reader natively. For older Kindle hardware, convert onward to AZW3 or MOBI.
Are tables and code blocks handled?
+
Simple tables convert but are awkward on small screens — narrow them where you can. Preformatted and code blocks keep their monospaced styling and do not reflow, which is the correct behaviour for code.
What about fonts?
+
Readers generally override embedded fonts with the reader's own setting, which is the point of a reflowable format. Semantic styling — bold, italic, headings, quotes — is preserved and respected everywhere.
How do I check the result before publishing?
+
Open the EPUB in a desktop reader and check the table of contents, the cover, the first page of each chapter, and one image-heavy page. Those four checks catch almost every structural problem.
Is my manuscript private?
+
Yes. Uploaded Word files are processed on our own conversion servers, no person reviews them, and they are never shared. The upload and the converted EPUB are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
