Book Description
This 2007 version of the book was the last version published. For partial updates, please visit Aaron Shepard's Publishing Page. Please note also that the Word versions described in this book possessed an earlier interface as well as features better suited to print publishing. Nowadays, new technologies and services have made it easier than ever to publish your book, but there's one question you may still face: Do I need an expensive page layout program, or can I just use a word processor like Microsoft Word? With this book as guide, you'll soon be producing pages from Word that no reviewer will scoff at. //////////////////////////////////////////////// Aaron Shepard is a foremost proponent of the new business of profitable self publishing through print on demand, which he has practiced and helped develop since 1998. Unlike most authorities on self publishing, he makes the bulk of his living from his self-published books -- not from consulting, speaking, freelance writing, or selling publishing services. In a parallel life, Aaron is an award-winning children's author with numerous books from publishers large and small. //////////////////////////////////////////////// "If you want to make your layout and formatting as unproblematic as possible and you don't want to shell out $1-$2k for someone else to do it for you, then add this book to your library. . . . Using this book, I've found page layout pretty fun and now look forward to that part of the process." -- Zoe Winter, Indie Books Journal (blog of IndieReader.com), Apr. 12, 2010 "If you want to use MS Word for typesetting, you really, really should own a copy of Aaron Shepard's book Perfect Pages. Nobody knows more about making Word produce acceptably typeset books." -- Walt Shiel, From the Publisher's Desk, Aug. 27, 2007 "If you are a self-publisher, the biggest favour you can possibly do for yourself is to learn how to present your work to its best possible advantage. And in that regard, Aaron Shepard is an invaluable aid." -- Michael Allen, Grumpy Old Bookman, Apr. 17, 2007 "Excellent not only as a guide to using Word to design books, but also as a concise guide to book design." -- Morris Rosenthal, author, Print-on-Demand Book Publishing "On target . . . . Concisely addresses a lot of topics that Word users need to know about." -- James Felici, author, The Complete Manual of Typography //////////////////////////////////////////////// CONTENTS 1 Managing Word 2 Formatting Your Document 3 Typesetting Your Text 4 Formatting Your Text 5 Perfecting Your Text 6 Handling Special Text 7 Handling Graphics 8 Enhancing Your Layout 9 Producing An Index 10 Preparing For Print 11 Creating A Cover

Book Description
The fully illustrated definitive guide to publishing your book on CreateSpace and Kindle with Microsoft Word 2007, 2010, & 2013. Yes, this is another book on self-publishing your book, but it's a book with a difference, a major difference... You see, it's written by an author with 20-years of experience with MS Word, who designs Word templates professionally, who understands the ins-and-outs and the pitfalls, and, more importantly, who knows not only what you should do with Word, but also what you shouldn't. Believe it or not, Word is not geared for creating books. Try it... See how many book templates you can find among the flyers, menus, resumes, student reports, events, etc., in Word's template library. Find any? Thought not. Sure, you can do it yourself, many do - very successfully; but, Word's underlying structure is the same now as it was back in the 1990's when Russ started using it professionally. Unfortunately for the beginner or the uninitiated, Word will throw up obstacles and barriers to foil and frustrate you (at some point); and, you won't find it particularly easy, primarily because of Word's design (long before the self-publishing industry began.) And there is a learning curve with Word - you're probably aware of this though? So, maybe you've already experienced intense Word frustrations? Maybe you've had hours, days or even weeks of work thrown away - because of Word. The author, Russ, did in his early days. He struggled for years at first (it was pre-Internet days). No longer though. However, if the only barrier to you successfully self-publishing your book is the software you're using, then there's something drastically wrong, isn't there? But, how do you learn to do 'all of this' correctly (and professionally), and in a non-biblical timescale? You take the best advice from a proven professional. That way, you're guaranteed a fast-track to self-publishing success... What's Inside... This 174-page book fully-illustrated book guides you step-by-step through every part of creating, writing, formatting, and publishing your book, leaving nothing to chance. It's packed with easy-to-follow, fully actionable information, including: How to setup Word to work FOR you BEFORE you start - Word 'out-of-the-box isn't the best setup for working. How to setup your book for CreateSpace - CreateSpace and Kindle have different requirements, the process is different, so you need to understand this. Why getting it right from the outset makes a major difference - this will save you time, frustration, & heartache! Those essential parts of MS Word that you must know or you'll end up going around in circles/ The pitfalls to avoid (or why so many fail with Word) - if you've used Word before, you've probably already experienced this (there are loads) How to work effectively within Word - navigating, moving things about, shortcuts, and so much more, great time-savers How to publish to CreateSpace and KDP - step-by-step so it's impossible to go wrong. Why you SHOULD NOT use CreateSpace's facility to send your books to Kindle - it is a no-no, find out why. How to quickly reformat your CreateSpace book for Kindle publishing - it IS easy, if you know how... So, why waste your own valuable time? If you use Microsoft Word and have struggled, then you need rock-solid, detailed, easy-to-follow steps to ensure your success. ...and it's staring you in the face... ...reach forward and take in both hands... ...grasp it firmly ... ...and DON'T EVER LET IT GO! Get this book and begin your success NOW!
