Microsoft Word has a nice book manuscript template! This is very helpful. I am so guilty of hitting enter instead of page break! Yikes!,

I'm trying to write a recipe book what are your suggestions on margin spacing and so on I'm absolutely new to Microsoft Word online even though I've been using my Google docs from my phone for other things I haven't really paid that much attention to formatting now that I want to really be serious about using either software. HELP WANTED, and thanks for all the videos I'm learning a lot I guess I'm just wanting to learn faster and my brain can't catch up just yet 🤪
Thank you, you Avery helpful

Hi, I love the video, I just have one question. Can I write the page number as a footer?

It should be in the header. Check out this video 👉🏾 kzread.info/dash/bejne/eH2V0K6MnsqxeZc.html
I want to write my first book, but not good with all the technicalities involved and that is why I am still stuck.

That’s understandable. I have quite a few videos that should be helpful to you.
How would you suggest using Roman Numerals for chapters instead? Is that okay? Would we just put I, II, III - or type out Chapter I, Chapter II, and Chapter III?

Yes, Chapter I is fine.

2 spaces? I’ve always been told to put one space after a sentence 😂

Probably so. It's pretty old school, but some don't know it has changed.
Oh it has to be double spaced? Oops. Thanks!!
