I am using the Digital Text Publishing tool of amazon.com. I would like to upload, as a test, a short Word document that has a single image, along with text. I save the Word document as filtered html, and see that both image and text appear in the result. I then upload it, using DTP. However, when I preview, I find only the text. The image is missing. What is going on, and how can I upload the image? Thanks.
There is a seperate section for uploading the images; did you use that?
The only reason that I know this is because I sent my book to them today. It should be published next month.
YAY!
Please explain, thanks. My Word document, in .doc form, has text and a single image. I then save the Word document as filtered html. The result still has text and image. Then, using DTP, I just point to the html file and tell it to upload.
Are you saying I have to do something special with the image? Thanks.
At the DTP dashboard, I specify the file location for the media (in this case, the html file). Then I click on “upload.” I do nothing else.
Where is this “separate section”? Thanks.
They told me that any images or text boxes had to be in a zip file. Did you try that?
I put the htm file, and the image file in a zip file, and uploaded it. However, same thing: I still see only the text, not the image. Have you ever uploaded an image that is contained in a Word document that was saved to filtered html? Thanks.
Now this is beyond my knowledge. You appear to have done everything correctly. Sorry. Maybe some other freeper will know better than the both of us.
How does this sound: according to Amazon, the html file and the image file have to be in the same folder at the time the zip file is created. However, the html source in my Word document still thinks the image file is in a hierarchy of folders, i.e. it has multiple slashes in the path.
I will edit the html to have just the image file name. That will tell html that it’s in same folder, I hope. Thanks.
