Can Atlantis create one ePub from multiple RTF files?

I would like to be able to read my magazines on my Kobo eReader. Currently I have the articles in the issues as separate RTF files for each article. I would like to take the articles/files for an issue along with a Table of Contents I generate that looks similar to the print issue and end with one ePub that reads similar to the print issue. The Kobo uses the ePub format as its default. Is this possible in Atlantis?

Here is what you could do:
1. Click “Edit | Clippy Bank > Clippy Bank collects clipboard data”.
2. Open all of your RTF files.
3. For each of them, press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C. You should end up with all your RTF documents appended to the Clippy Bank.
4. Display the Clippy Bank, press Ctrl+A, then right-click the selection, and choose “Save Selection As…” in the context menu. Save the document to any appropriate name.
5. Open that document, make all suitable adjustments, and save it to EPUB.
HTH.

You can press Ctrl+N to create a new document, then use the "Insert | File..." menu command of Atlantis to insert your RTFs.

Thank you Robert and admin,
From that I could create what I want. I currently have over 1,000 files covering 40 magazine issues (this magazine will end with 168 issues) and would like to keep down redundancy, especially as I backup daily. I will see if I can use links from a Table of Contents and at the end of each article to have the functionality I want.

Alan
