I was able to successfully convert a DOCX file to MOBI file for an Amazon Kindle device. All I really needed was the index and basic formatting preserved and that's what it did. Also images worked well. I'm very happy.

Links not longer work, well not for me.

Could be https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Source/TEBookConverter/
be the correct link, but it was lasted update in 2014

I searched and found also https://tebookconverter.codeplex.com/
But firefox had a warning "The site ahead may contain harmful programs"

is this program still available and safe

Gwennel Doc v0.15

billon on 29 May 2018
  • 359KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 23 Dec 2013
  • Suggested by Cornflower

Gwennel is a lightweight word processor that takes an innovative approach to formatting options by separating them into a tree-like structure. This is useful for handling long documents with clear, organized formatting tools or for users who wish to focus on the text first and formatting second. Any style changes (such as headings, lists, or colors) are propagated throughout the entire document and, although only able to open and save OpenDocument (.odt) files, this makes the program a capable WYSIWYG editor. Additionally, users can open existing files and make rapid changes to the entire document.

What's new?
  • New Feature: basic find command.
  • Bug fix: use the text color of paragraph for bullets.
  • The executable is no longer packed with UPX because of all those crappy antivirus.

It is not at all intuitive, but once you play with it a bit, It comes together.
I probably won't use it on my own computers where Open Office Portable is much handier, but as I like to keep my usb key light, I keep it there. Hint: go over your Open Office documents and see what styles you like to use, and update the openoffice-style.gwen template. I found this makes it more user friendly, as I am dealing with my own tastes.

I've tested it. I does support Unicode.

@smaragdus: One thing is one thing and another thing is another thing. I was just noting that the file left behind is located in a temp folder, which does not affect the app's portability or its stealth status. I'm not judging the program's merits or demerits (never used it), and I too think that leaving a DLL behind is not a good practice, but let's not mix things up. A bad, or even a malicious program, can still be portable.

lautrepay on 2015-12-31 13:49

@smaragdus: And don't get me wrong. Your comment is a valuable one.

smaragdus on 2016-01-01 13:49

@lautrepay
I don't get you wrong. In fact I spotted the DLL I mentioned because my anti-virus shrieked (false positive, of course). I was harsh about the developer of Yadabyte Subtext but I really do think it would be better if this DLL was extracted in Yadabyte Subtext program folder (I see no logical reason why it should be extracted in Temp folder). In short, I agree it Yadabyte Subtext is portable but not stealth. Regards and happy new year!

List Numberer v1.1.0

Choose starting number, customizable increments (e.g. 1, 2, 3; 1, 3, 5; 1, 4, 7), prefixes and suffixes to numbers (e.g. A-1, 2B, etc.), and the ability to strip leading numbers (for already numbered lists that need to be fixed), restart numbering for blank lines, and more.

When creating a numbered list, most text editors are remarkably short on intelligent options and manual entry isn't an option. Although it doesn't support any advanced formatting that other programs use, text-only means it works for every editor and not just Word / Wordpad.

An excellent and important utility! Using a different (local) text handler for each and every time we input text is a cognetics nightmare which TEA solves quite neatly within our present architecture.
Note: This utility uses the clipboard to move the completed file back to the original location. Anything already on the clipboard is lost in the process.

webfork on 2016-05-29 02:39

This is a great program. When I was using multiple editors to get the best of each (NotePad++, LibreOffice, and Dreamweaver), I used this frequently. Also works well with gpg4usb.

FileHandler on 2018-06-02 03:07

It works well as long as you stick to editing your text and refrain from switching to various other apps - to research something for your text etc.

It seems to rely on Alt-Tabbing back to the previously used window to transport your edited text back to where it belongs. This will only work if you had not switched to other programs in the meantime.

Nice program but... it doesn't work with cyrillic text. Therefore the program is unusable for many people who write in cyrillic.
