did u create this on your new macbook pro?

[terrywhitetechblog]

@Searching2Fonts Yep!, created on the MBP, although the video was recorded on my Mac Pro which had the mic already setup.

@greek17 >> I had the same problem. Terry forgot to type 5.5in and 8.25in. The way it shows in the video the margins and gutters = more than the total width. A small detail.

Terry, my good man, in the tutorial you are just about to tell us how you get the images to flow with the text but then you get sidetracked buddy. Could you please tell me how to keep the graphic locked in place. When I export to ePUB my images are down at the back and are all different sizes. Continued below...

Much appreciated. I've seen quite a few of your videos now. I feel like I know you. You seem like a decent fella Terry. I especially like your cheerfulness, it calms me down after my violent frustrations with InDesign, Photoshop, Final Cut, Illustrator, Word, Acrobat, Toast, Flash Video, XDCam Transfer, bus drivers, taxi drivers, electricity bills, rain...

Terry, I have CS5 and I stumbled at the first hurdle. My size options are in mm - I don't understand what the p is in your sizing. do I use the same sizes in mm?

Thanks

Can you please point us in the right direction?

We have comic books that need to be converted into Fixed Layout ePubs. Can InDesign work with creating comics-stype ePubs as you have done here? If so, where do we start learning from?

[NeechTree]

I have found your tutorials very helpful! But I have finding it impossible to figure out one thing when creating an epub: how to override the auto text flow and get scene breaks (***) to center.

Any advice Terry, or anyone? This is a book that will be used on ipads, and all other e-readers as well, so I do need the auto text flow to work, all except for scene breaks. Any help is appreciated greatly!!!!!
