are using any of the “flowing” formats, you will lose the mark-up
for print page number references unless you hand-code them in. If the print
page numbers are important (for quoting citations, for example), you will need
to pay attention to that detail.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
I'd suggest ePub first. The nice thing about ePub format is that you can then
convert what you've made into many, many other formats; if it is accessible in
ePub, you've taken enormous strides in making it accessible in other formats.<br>
<br>
For info on the ePub format: http://digitalunion.osu.edu/topic/epub/<br>

(these posts are part of a 6-installment posting with instructions on every
step of the way. You should be able to get from one post to the next pretty
easily. If not, simply search "epub" on the site).<br>

Good luck!<br>
