Thank you all so much for checking out this video series and for your likes and comments. I'm so glad it's been helpful for so many of you. I've had a ton of people asking questions about specific formatting issues or problems, and while I would love to answer all of them, I simply don't have the time (or the knowledge sometimes) to respond to every specific question. Microsoft Word isn't the best or the easiest formatting tool out there, so it is pretty tricky to get things right. Most of what I've shown here was learned through trial and error and many, many Google searches. You can find many of the solutions to your problems that way. I'm sorry I can't respond to every single question but I wish you all the best of luck in your formatting endeavors!

I'm trying to publish and this has been driving me crazy for the past two days. All I'm trying to do is remove a page number from a blank page and then continue the page numbers. But its so complicated. I dont understand why word hasnt updated or made this process simpler.

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.

OMG!! I have been looking for this info! Thank you so much! My only question is, what about a book that, in additon to what you taught here, has pages with full images that bleed off the pages? What about the page numbers where you don't want them on the image pages and don't want the universal margins? I'm having a heck of a time with this!
@ta_hernandez5
@ta_hernandez5 Жыл бұрын
I'm so sorry for the delayed response but I do use full bleed images in some of my books. You want to make sure you set up the file with a little extra space on each side (Amazon has specific guidelines about this that you can look up) and then I just size my images to fit the entire document page. If you don't want numbers on pages with images, you'll have to separate out the images as a new section. I do have a video all about including images and formatting them if that's still helpful to you at this point.

I only ever try to make sure my first chapter starts on page 1, and then however the rest of them start doesn't matter to me. I have seen where all the chapters start on an odd page, in which case you would sometimes just need to insert a blank page between the end of the previous chapter (if it ends on an odd page) and the beginning of the next.

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 KZbinr 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.

This is infuriating. Your video is wonderful, and very well done. We have the exact same verison of MS. Here's the thing. I am following what you are doing EXACTLY, and it is STILL giving me a 1 on my title page. I double selected my first written page in the Footer, I insert a page number (shows 2,) and I go to Format, Unselect Continue From Previous Section, select start at Page 1 - and it does nothing. Still foots my title page as Page 1. And here's the kicker. If I then select the numbers, then go to Remove Page Numbers - nothing. I have to MANUALLY delete them. I am so ticked off. Why isn't it formatting the page numbers for me?!?!?!?!

How did you get the numbers and header to start on page 2 of chapter 1 and not on the very first page of the manuscript? I tried highlighting and told it to start on page 1 but it is counting the very first page of the manuscript as page 1 and not the first chapter as page 1.

Could I use the chapter name in place of book name? Can you specify different configurations for header v. footer -- ex if I want "chapter title" on each odd page, except first page of chapter? When I try, it doesn't seem to allow me to have different settings for the header v. footer. I'm struggling with the sections too. Thanks for this video. Some parts were a little hard for these old eyes (even with glasses) to see. :)

I'm having problems!! 😥😔 Hope you might be able to help me!! When formatting, its done to sizes & margins, (certain widths inside & outside.) When you 'ODD PAGE BREAK' & 'EVEN PAGE BREAK,' it alters the first page you add your numbers to. Sometimes it makes the 1st page (No#-2), sometimes the gutter is on the wrong side as it flips automatically... then it's impossible to fix. Also, when I add 'NEXT PAGE page break as instructed,' it adds an empty page... that I cannot even with a delete button doesnt fix it correctly. It either alters the page layoutS (plural) and messes up the whole document, or just messes the page numbering. How do I get the correct page alignments using section breaks!!?? Where am I going wrong??? I'm in despair trying to just do basic formatting!! Thanks in advance!! 🙏

how do I remove numbering from blank pages inside the text. I have title page then blank then text. I am using MS Word book template sourced from Amazon. So essentially I have title page, blank pge then text starts. If I add in section break it adds another page which disturbs the print layout for content publishing. I use ingramspark for the final publishing process.

Question. When I enter the header on the odd numbered pages, it's putting it on the chapter pages as well. How do I remove it from those pages?
@ta_hernandez5
@ta_hernandez5 2 жыл бұрын
Could be a couple of different things. 1) You have to make sure every chapter is in it's own section, so you'll need to make sure you have section breaks at the end of every chapter so that the new one can start in a new section. 2) There's a checkbox under the headers and footers tab that says "different first page" and you'll want to make sure that is checked. Sometimes it will be in one section/chapter but not the other, so you might have to go through and make sure it's checked for all your chapters. If you're not sure how to do any of that, I did show it in my previous video on this series--the one about chapter headers. You can also just Google it and find good instructions if that's easier. Hope that helps!
