Creating a Book Cover in Publisher

[@luisbastos2]

Thank you so much, you are very good! I have this program for so long and I always looking for editor programs like adobe InDesign that is so hard to work... Great!

[@computertutoring]

Thanks you really made my day :)

[@ishat3489]

This is my very first KZbin review. I had to give one because you did a superb job on your tutorial. There really aren't a lot of guides on book covers that actually work. Great job! Everything was very clear and precise. I will definitely recommend to others. Thank you very much.

[@computertutoring]

Wow... thanks so much! Well I really do appreciate your review... I'm so pleased you found the video helpful!🙂

[@ItWILLbeWONDERFUL_THERE]

Huge help! I'll end up watching this half a dozen more times between now and when I'm ready to publish.

[@ItWILLbeWONDERFUL_THERE]

HUGE HELP!! Thanks Simon! I can't count how many times I've watched this post!

[@computertutoring]

Thank you so much!

[@theagespot9717]

Thank you so much! My cover was frustrating and I was about to give up when I found this video. Can't thank you enough.

[@computertutoring]

Glad to here - All the best with your publication.

[@TinRoofVintage]

I know this is an old video, but you're an excellent teacher! Among a few issues I had, I couldn't figure out whether to use two pages for both covers or just one large page. Thank you for the most thorough tutorial (yes, I still use Publisher! ) 😄 Peace and Blessings from Texas USA 🌹

[@computertutoring]

Thank you so much!

[@erinj2484]

Thank you so much. You are a great tutor. I have been struggling to build a booklet for a few years. You made it so easy for me with this lesson. Thanks.

[@computertutoring]

Wow just made my yesterday. 😊

[@hankstanton54]

Fantastic job - clear and easy to consume - great job with the training technology. Well done!

[@elvinmenor1874]

Hi Hank..i hope that i could giv u ideas too kzbin.info/www/bejne/manHmKWpbt14hK8

[@rtyria]

Excellent tutorial. One thing I would do differently is after editing the cover photo I send it to the Master Page (I don't have the program on this computer, but the option is in the pop up menu when the image is clicked). That way I don't have to worry about dragging the image off center while working on other elements of the cover.

[@computertutoring]

Good idea I should employ it in the next publisher tutorial

[@pennykilpatrick7889]

Great job. Please do one using the catalog sheets linked to an excel spread sheet.

[@diahanncolon9958]

[@marykrigbaum9021]

Great. I'll watch this after I create my book. Looking for a template for book design in Publisher. Happen to know where I can get this? Thanks.

[@cbzombiequeen58]

If you do a two page view, the gutter size can be put in the area that says center. This is the better way, because platforms, kdp, lulu, smashwords, etc. Will tell you the exact size, example This is in inches, easier for platforms. 8 by 10, 40 pages kids book Top Bottom Sides Margines will be set at, .25 Center or gutter 0.375 You then place cover in front, then place cover in back.

[@computertutoring]

Thanks for that good tip

[@Daoism11]

Hello Simon, I'm making a book in publisher. Five chapters. How do I merge them when finished? Will then create pdf and give to printer to print double sided and bind. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

[@simonsmith3030]

First class instruction sir ! After Amazon decided to go the whole hog with KDP, many of the off the peg book designs have become rubbish. Thank you ! Bearing in mind I will still be using a downloaded PDF template I still need to convert the PDF to PUB files, although of course converting from PUB to PDF is no problem. So welcome any advice from folks on this one :-)

Thanks so much!!!

What program are you using to illustrate, zoom in, and highlight key features, as well as your camera? I have OBS but yours looks more sophisticated. Whatever it is you were pretty good using it while teaching. Good job.

Excellent tutorial... I've subscribed in the hope of seeing some more - great job! Sadly it didn't answer my question which is: how do I get my covers to print onto the same side of an A4 sheet of paper? I've created an A5 recipe booklet, the covers are set up as single pages at the beginning and end of the document; unfortunately, they appear a page (A4) apart from each other (1 then 3). How can I change this?

It was something that I knew already, but my problem is what im making is a book for my thesis and the numbers by the rule have to be on the sides, but oposite sides, like in a book.
