- Moving on in this title,…I talked about some of the things…that InDesign cannot convert,…and will leave behind when you export to EPUB.…And here we're confronted with…a rogue's gallery of problem child elements.…I think it's a good idea to focus…on these kind of things,…for one video at least,…and talk about a couple ways that we can use,…to make sure that they do get included in the EPUB.…So let's first of all, take a tour of some of these objects.…We have a couple empty frames,…that just have the fill color.…This one also has a drop shadow.…This frame is the same one,…except that I've placed an image inside it,…so it's actually pretty large image, as you can see,…getting cropped out.…
We have two instances of text on a path.…The first one has a stroke of 1 pt.…The second one has a stroke of 0 pts.…We have an elliptical text frame,…with a yellow background, with live text.…And finally, I drew a stroke and then…put an arrow on it from the Stroke panel.…Before I export to EPUB,…I wanna call your attention to something.…
