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.

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.
Aww man it looks so cool 😍😍😍😍😍
Do you have this template for free to use? ❤
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.
cool
This is so awesome! I am excited to get my copy of this!! 😊😊.
I'm so excited to get my copy of this! The End papers especially so stunning.
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.
Great info. Thanks. Do you launch hardcover, paperback and digital all at the same time?
Love your videos. CAn you please make one for open quotation marks on drop caps? It's really difficult trying to get it done
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…
Greate video tutorial, would you a cooking recipe tutorial or a template, thank you
Thank you for this Ma'am.
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.
Thank you. It really was painless. Mind, I haven't exported to Amazon yet.
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 ❤🔥
One question - don't you put Table of Contents in your books? I don’t see it either at the beginning or at the end of this Pirate book.
Wow! I'm soo glad to find that playlist! Sooo helpful! Thank you so much!
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. KZread has lots of examples of how-to. Good video. Great enthusiasm for the topics. Thank you.
Your strategy is Brilliant. Thank you for this informative information
???How do you keep your chapter page from having a header in it???❓
So glad I found your channel. Can you tell me the name of the book title font please? I really like that.
This was really helpful! The best video I've found on this topic. Thank you!!
This is great! 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.
Thanks for the video
i downloaded this video
Great video. My problem is that when I got my proof from kdp, some print was lighter than other print. Any ideas?
Totally in love with this video! You answered all of my questions thank you so much.
Thanks for the content! Amazing. Let me make a question: would work the same way if I inserted as a watermark with no transparency? Thanks again!❤
Can you please help me that somehow my mirror page begins with two unwanted spaces aligning to the previous page.? Thank you.
Thanks for this info. I was wondering what paragraph settings (paragraph indents, spacing and pagination) you used for this book?
Hey there I have no clue where to start or how to I’m trying to format my book and get it ready for print and all that I’ll pay for help Can you help me please ????
I just have a quick question. To preface it, I have to say that I used to think that I had a fairly good knowledge of technology and especially of MICROSOFT, but putting together a book for possible PUBLISHING is a tremendous challenge. I think it is because of so many convoluted steps. The The topic for the week this week has been starting page one on the ninth page of the book at the introduction. I tried it first the way it was told by another KZreadr and then I tried your suggestions and it worked!!! However, it worked for about three minutes and after that I had all the odd pages set but no even pages anywhere in a 218 page manuscript. They were there. They just didn’t have page numbers. Please before I go back and take out all the section markings and everything. I wonder if you could just help me with one particular question: can I finish all my editing and formatting and then go back and try to tackle pages at the very end? Also, for a quick second question: is it possible for me to get the results I want with page numbers without taking out section breaks and going back and undoing everything that I’ve done? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I find your tutorials to be very, very helpful. You are very clear and your pace is wonderful so that I’m able to keep up with you in trying to learn some formatting things. I mean that seriously because so many others do not have good diction and it’s very difficult to understand them. I’m In a quandary at the moment, I’m having trouble with something that I’ve never had trouble with MICROSOFT before, and that is page numbers. I mastered it from what you said in starting numbering in the actual body of my book rather than at the beginning pages and starting page one there. But all of a sudden, my pages have reverted to starting with page one and sequencing a few numbers after that and then stopping all numbers whatsoever. I must’ve done something else because it also tells me that I have six sections and I even went in and tried to delete sections and was not successful. Just from this confusing information I wonder if you can offer me any advice. I also want to do my headers with odd pages carrying the title and even pages my name, but for some unknown reason I have been unable to master that. I really would appreciate any advice. Thank you and keep on making those great videos.
Thanks to your videos, I polished my book like a pro! By the way, do you have a video explaining how to format table of content?
If Microsoft Word is not the best formatting software, which software is? Thank you.
when i insert the image as a header, it puts the image at the top over every page instead of every section. what am I doing wrong? LOL
Headers are my issue right now. What I did not see you cover/show is whether, after adding the headers, they appeared on your previous unnumbered pages. Word adds my headers to every single page, regardless of which page is #1. How did you NOT get the headers to show on the unwanted pages? - thank you
Hi, thanks for your videos. I find them helpful. Do you have any problems exporting your finished formatted Atticus document? Mine won't export.
This was an awesome tutorial, I really got a lot out of it! The only adjustment you might consider is instead of adding the section break as "Next Page", I think the standard is to always start new chapters on the right side, so maybe add the section break as "Odd Page" instead. All your instructions are still working for me when I do this, so just a tip. Thanks!
You absolutely can do it that way if you want to, I have seen trad and indie books published both ways. I personally dislike the blank page that is sometimes left if you have a chapter that ends on an odd page and then start the new chapter on an odd page, so I like to do mine this way. But whatever works for you! Thanks for the comment, glad the video was helpful!
I find writing of any length a challenge. Microfiction seems to be my medium.
Good review. Thanks.
This is really great. I only wish you would have included the front matter, and how to add a section break in so that you're starting your numbers where you think you are. I've been struggling HARD with all this!
By chance, do you charge to format a book for someone else?
Thanks for all the insights! Very informative!
Thank you for this video ,it is so help Really I WROTE ABOOK NEED TO BE FORMATin the 3 types,it is 700+pages ,can be divided in 3 books I you agree to format it ,,we come to adeal,how we do it ,and what is your idea, any tell me about your cost.

Absolutely brilliant series! I appreciate how you made Book Formatting (for Word) as a series instead of a whole video, each video was easy to follow and I love how you shared your thought process behind the different formatting choices. Just subscribed :)
