a few days ago i loaded a 20-pg html article onto my kindle. this was challenging, as the entire html document was a giant table. but it's professional reading, and i needed to annotate. (the html tables actually *work* more or less on kindle, so the kindle's cursor ends up being this giant thing next to the entire paragraph -- which is a cell/row in the table.)
i couldn't find a single program that would strip out the table-code. even ms word will allow only 'delete entire table (including contents)' or 'clear contents from table', so i kludged my way through doing it manually. (since then i've thought of a better way of dealing with this manually. but if anyone knows of a program that will remove that table stuff, i'm open, because evidently that's how the online journal publisher formats everything.)
sorry. getting off track. ok, so here's my issue. while manually re-formatting the html, i killed about four words at the beginning of a paragraph halfway into the article. i've repaired the document, but not re-formatted and reloaded, because i'm afraid it will overwrite my annotations.
anyone out there have any ideas how i might successfully address this? it's not an emergency -- i've read the four words. i just don't know what-all else bad stuff i might have done to this thing, and it would be good to know what happens. (if no one knows, i might just test it with something small -- this summer when my class is over.)
