Problems adding documents to a book

I’m having trouble adding a document to my Newton Press book. What should I do?

Check that the document is in a format that Newton Press can add. See the
Readme file installed with your Newton Press software for a list of formats
that Newton Press can translate. If you don’t see your application format
listed, try saving your document in a format that is listed.

How do I get the Font Substitution dialog box to appear again if I want to reimport the
same file, or for new files that contain the same fonts?

To cancel your previous font substitution selections so that you can make new
ones or change them, quit the application and then open it again. When you
add files, the Font Substitution dialog box will reappear.

When adding a number of documents to a book, how can I easily find out where different
documents start in my book?

Turn on the Files Names in the Table of Contents option in the Preferences
dialog box. Then add your documents to the book. You can then open the
Table of Contents window and a topic for each document that you added will
appear in the Table of Contents.

Why am I losing information from a document when I add it to my Newton Book?

When you add a document to a Newton Book, Newton Press uses a translator
to convert the document to information that a Newton PDA can use. Some
application files may contain graphics or other types of information, such as
footnotes, that cannot be translated. Check the original document for such
information and copy and paste it into the book, if possible. Otherwise, try
putting the information into a format that Newton Press can translate.
