What You Need to Create MIDI eBooks 
- Part II

Computer Software

Text Editor 
MS NotePad is quite adequate for writing a large amount of text, but you will need to  do the text formatting after you cut and paste it to your WYSIWYG HTML editor. 
Notepad will give you clean unformatted text.  In contrast MS Word will give you fully formatted text. However the formatting may clash with your HTML editor and produce all sorts of undesirable results, that can not be easily corrected.

Story Writing Organizer
I can recommend a very handy program called NovelPRO which will keep all your materials neatly organized and readily accessable. http://novelcode.com

HTML Editor
I recommend that you use a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) HTML editor. This enables you to get quick predictable results without having to learn any HTML programming language.  Find a good html editor go here.  Another favourite (expensive) is Dreamweaver    I used Netscape Composer for this eBook.

Internet Browser
I reccomend that you use the latest edition of MS Internet Explorer, you will need that installed to view your finished eBook in any case. Internet Explorer Homepage
The eBook Compiler software uses the MS Browser as a viewing platform.

MIDI Player/Editor
I use a MIDI file player/editor called Voyetra MIDI Orchestrator Plus. There are many excellent programs available. Voyetra Turtle Beach have a huge range.

Sound Editor
Another optional extra that can help you make sound files (WAV or MP3) which can be used to enhance your eBook. I can recommend a program called Cool Edit.

MIDI Music Files
These are freely available in abundance on the internet .  Start Here
Note: Check that the file is not copywrite before using it.

Your eBook Compiler
I can recommend E-ditor Pro which was used to make this eBook. 
It has enough features for most needs and is not expensive. 
You can find it at the following link. Get E-ditorPro Here

FTP Software
You will need this to upload your finished MIDI-eBooks to the Web. 
Again there are many FTP programs available. Look Here for CuteFTP
I have had success with Bullet Proof FTP  (BPFTP) as well as CuteFTP. 
These can be downloaded from many websites. Get BPFTP Here
