How to Convert a Word eBook to ePub and Clean it up with Sigil - Part 1 - 2024

In this video I demonstrate how to convert a Word eBook into an ePub and then pull it into a program called Sigil to clean up all of the "crazy coding" that these free converters throw into ePub files.

This is Part 1 of this short formatting series. Part 2 will be how to create Chapter graphic headers using Sigil.
