About the EPUB format

EPUB is an XML-based distribution format for eBooks that is rapidly gaining adoption by publishers and distributors. EPUB is an open standard supported by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) organization. See also the Wikipedia article.

After you install Aspose.Words for Microsoft Word, the EPUB format will be listed in the Save As dialog. Saving to EPUB is just as simple as saving to any other file format available in Microsoft Word.

1.      Open any document in Microsoft Word.

2.      From the Save As menu select “Aspose.Words – EPUB (*.epub)”, and then click Save.

How it Works

Aspose.Words for Microsoft Word is implemented using the following two technologies:

·         Aspose.Words for .NET

·         Microsoft Word 2007 SP2 Open XML Format External Converter

When installed, Aspose.Words for Microsoft Word registers itself as an Open XML Format External Converter and this makes Microsoft Word show EPUB as a new file format in the Save As dialog box.

When you select to save as EPUB, the following happens:

1.      Microsoft Word saves the document in the OpenXML WordprocessingML format and sends it to Aspose.Words for Microsoft Word.

2.      Aspose.Words for Microsoft Words is built on top of Aspose.Words for .NET, a class library for document conversion, generation, reporting and rendering. Aspose.Words for .NET loads the OpenXML document and converts it to the EPUB format.
