Ahhhhh I hate when that happens! But i thought there was a setting in Word for the special curved ones (can't remember when or how). But it's also why I try not to copy and paste anything because fixing them is AWFUL

Yeah i feel like 1) we authors keep finding things and will never stop so we all come to a point when we have to make ourselves stop. I still can't read shifter because I find so much I would change. 2) ive read many mainstream books like acotar and 4th wing and they have a lot of ediitng mistakes so I feel like indie authors are more picky on ourselves than famous ones because they can be more lenient and still be famous and we can't 😅

Why not use the style sheet for formatting? Then if you want to change something later it is much, much easier.

I have six sections to my book with 10-14 chapters in each section. Should I use section breaks for the six sections and page breaks for each chapter?
@hapruitt.anelthalien Ай бұрын
@pauladominique I would use section breaks for each chapter and between sections. Page breaks can cause problems when you change the document to a PDF for unloading.
@pauladominique Ай бұрын
@@hapruitt.anelthalien I assume that would apply to all pages, including TOC, copyright, dedication, etc. I want a reflowable e-book as well. Any complications to expect when converting to e-book?
@pauladominique Ай бұрын
My book is already an e-book and I'm converting it to paperback, so I can't highlight all the text, since my chapters, etc are already there. Do I have to highlight one chapter at a time, omitting the titles, etc and then set margins each time? Maybe that's why the margins I've been setting are not working, and Microsoft keeps warning me that they're not fitting the printable part of the page.
@hapruitt.anelthalien Ай бұрын
I've never done that, but that probably is the problem since the e-book has different formatting. When you set margins in the pop-up box, it gives the options to apply the margins to that section or the whole document. If clicking the "whole document" button doesn't work, then you may need to set each section individually.
@pauladominique Ай бұрын
My chapter titles are the names of the stories, not numbers. "splendid Splinter", ""Summer Interruption", "Gone Again". They are also in a custom font called Flower Days. Do you suggest I keep headers to match the TNR 12 I'm using for the body?
@hapruitt.anelthalien Ай бұрын
I would either use TNR to match the body font or try to find a font that looks similar to your custom font. Since the header will be pretty small, also consider if the fancy font will be clear as a header.
@pauladominique Ай бұрын
Went with 6x9 and set margins at .25 everywhere but the gutter (.375) and Microsoft says some of the margins are outside the printable area! What???
@hapruitt.anelthalien Ай бұрын
kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6#margins That link will take you to KDP's page about gutters and margins. I didn’t do anything video about bleed or no bleeding, but that may be what's going on. If you want your pictures to go all the way to the edges of the pages, you'll need to set it up according to the bleed margins and select "bleed" in the set-up options.
@pauladominique Ай бұрын
@@hapruitt.anelthalien No bleed needed 'cause no pix. I finally got it to accept the numbers I input, but I don't like the look. Outside margin is too small, IMO. Scared to start tampering with it now. I like the margins you have on the "Tiny Sam" book, but mine is over 200 pages, so yours might not fit KDP requirements. What are your numbers? Maybe I'll see if they fit and if Microsoft accepts them without telling me I'll be printing outside the page margins. Thanks. Like your clarity on these tasks,

This just randomly came into my feed. I am just a casual writer, usually it’s for venting or to help me fall asleep. No one reads it, sometimes I talk about it or draw it (I’m mainly a drawer). And sometimes I roleplay. I much prefer present tense, so I don’t think I have the same issue with extra prepositions, but sometimes I take an extra second to think whether or not I need the “of.” I’ll check out your series when I get a chance!
@hapruitt.anelthalien Ай бұрын
