Hi, I am just about to use your set of videos to format a book | am in the process of writing. I have a question before I start. Firstly I am quite a way in on my book, it is non-fiction and has quite a lot of pictures and maps, mostly colour ( sorry I am UK so its Kings English for me ) and I have already put them in the relevant places. So should I take them out before I format or can I leave them in? Regards Richard
@hapruitt.anelthalien Күн бұрын
@richardlucas8849 If you leave the pictures in, then when you do the formatting, it is likely they will move to where you don't want them. Word is very tricky when it comes to pictures, and making the slightest change can move a picture to a whole other page, somewhere halfway off the page, or some other crazy place. If I was in your place, I would take all the pictures out and type a brief description of the picture where you want it as a placeholder then put the pictures back in after applying the formatting. It will be quite a bit of work, but it will save you even more work and frustration.

@@hapruitt.anelthalien Thank you so much for getting back so promptly, I had a feeling that would be the answer and I will do just that, I have two screens so I could run it on the second screen and copy them over to the formatted version that might do the trick. Actually there is a second question. Once you have formatted is it easy to edit or even add a page or so?? Many Thanks Richard Celer et Audax
@hapruitt.anelthalien 20 сағат бұрын
@richardlucas8849 Except for the pictures, if you make changes after formatting, it shouldn't result in problems. I do most of my formatting before my final rounds of editing (proofreading), and that works just fine. If you still have more text to add, it is okay to set margins and the page size and to format the text and titles like you want.
