PEASE DO NOT EMAIL/MESSAGE ME WITH BOOK FORMATTING QUESTIONS! Your message will likely be ignored. I'm sorry, but I have provided all the help I can in the video series on this topic. I do not have the time or energy to handle such questions, even if you are offering to pay for services. Many of the questions I've received have already been addressed in the videos or can be found with a quick internet search and some trial & error.
This is infuriating. Your video is wonderful, and very well done. We have the exact same verison of MS. Here's the thing. I am following what you are doing EXACTLY, and it is STILL giving me a 1 on my title page. I double selected my first written page in the Footer, I insert a page number (shows 2,) and I go to Format, Unselect Continue From Previous Section, select start at Page 1 - and it does nothing. Still foots my title page as Page 1. And here's the kicker. If I then select the numbers, then go to Remove Page Numbers - nothing. I have to MANUALLY delete them. I am so ticked off. Why isn't it formatting the page numbers for me?!?!?!?!
Yes, it don't seem like they have enough readers as well. As I have a couple Review Requests going, and so far, I haven't seen a single participate, little known, an actual review out of it. I'm almost thinking that Pubby might be a better Reviewing Company than this one.
Thanks so much for this. I know you posted this 2 years ago but if anyone can give me some tips on how to anchor the pictures? I click on the lock anchor but the pictures are still moving around and I am worried when I make the epub file for Ingramspark the photos will move and they will print it with the photos displaced. How can I make sure the file stays intact once I convert it to epub?
I just found your BOOK FORMATTING IN WORD series and they have been quite helpful! Many thanks! My only complaint is that what you are presenting to us is very small and hard to read. It may be my eyes ;) but I do wish I was able to better see what you are highlighting. Regardless, thanks again for the excellent information.
Thank you so much for your video tutorials. I am a new indie author, so short on budget, as well as, knowledge on all things self-publishing...so your easy-to-understand videos on formatting have been a godsend. I have just finished my second book and was getting nervous about how to do things on my own....so finding this highly informative video has been a blessing.
Bookmarks make great business cards and conversation starters. I usually hang at side or a little in front of my table and if someone looks over I say hi, then offer them a boomark.
I am asking you this because I find you to be an expert on formatting for manuscripts. Is there ever a way that one can make corrections and modifications to one’s manuscript while it’s in PDF form on the KDP website and being viewed there as an upload? That would make things so easy. Just a question…
Thank you. I am looking for assistance with section breaks on a Second Edition of my book. The page numbers and/or headers are messing up each time I need a section break to keep all chapters starting on the right side pages. Thank you for your channel.
I just watched all the videos in this playlist. Thank you very much! Word opened up for me from a new side. But Atticus is certainly interesting. If I start receiving royalties, I'll have to buy it 😁 For me, it was the last video that made the difference. I had so much trouble with the hanging lines! And you showed such an elegant and simple solution. Thanks a lot 🤍 I want to say that not only does the Book of the Pirates look awesome, but so do your books. Love the covers and formatting. Looks professional and attractive. I have something to strive for. Thank you again ❤🔥
You might want to investigate the "Gutter" setting technique. It simplifies what you spend lots of time "tweaking" using trial-and-error. The gutter box is there, designed for VERY GOOD reasons not to bypass it. RU-vid has lots of examples of how-to. Good video. Great enthusiasm for the topics. Thank you.
Do you do all this for writers? (For fee of course) I have watched over 10 videos on how to format my book, and I’m one video away from pulling out somebody’s hair.
