Very helpful for a young upcoming author in South Africa. Simply detailed and easily explained. Thank you Dane!

[@kittysonder]

Thank you so much for this! All my stress went away and I did it, I published my novel. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this and for sharing your knowledge. Even with all my research, I didn't realise that Amazon had their own template and it was a lifesaver. Thank you, Dane!

[@HumaAbbasi-ee5cg]

name of your novel ... where did you publish it... i am formatting my poetry book to publish my first ebook.

[@GoVandyBronc]

The word for squared off is "Justified." Nice work Dane.

[@DaneMcBeth]

Thank you!

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

It's called justified

[@vidaudman]

When you hover, it tells you. But good work.

[@fanorama1]

Finally, someone who could help me get my first Kindle book formatted and publshed. I was ready to give up. Thanks Dane!!

[@DaneMcBeth]

Glad it helped! :)

[@incentive8308]

Whilst new to self-publishing, having to use outsourcing to publish my first book (good and not-so-good experience), I know a lot about training videos and presentations and Dane is way up there on both. Many Thanks

[@JeanneTheunissen]

My favourite font has always been Palatino. I used to do editing for a publisher, and that was the font they used, and I've tended to use it for everything myself ever since. Thank you for this, as I've never published anything myself, but a friend of mine has asked for my help, as he doesn't have time to do it himself.

[@diannehardwick950]

Thanks Dane. This was very helpful, as I am preparing a book of poetry for my first publication. A straightforward explanation is just what is required.

[@DaneMcBeth]

Glad it was helpful!

[@factsbytiara9007]

Do you have the poetry book up now? Wana take a look.

[@TaRazzy]

I've been struggling for about a week. Thank God I came to KZbin U and found you. I appreciate you so much!!

[@joshuatheleader]

Even though I don't have word docs and my screen doesn't look like yours, this video still helped a ton for me with writing my first book! So thank you.

[@rishreinen5587]

I appreciate your producing this video. As a person who has been a disc jockey and a professional musician for 23 plus years (I'm now 75), when I hear others presentations I will recommend to, at times, just sit back and watch your own show; listen to the speed of your speaking and notice if you are speaking so fast that you are running your words together. I appreciate your time. When one speaks so fast, it also affects the listeners to be a little more on edge and nervy. Anyway, good job my friend.

[@UrantianArtist]

Thank you for making this, it’s exactly what I needed.

[@wellsfashion8839]

Nice tutorial, you did great and show us the proper method for beginners, thank you so much 😀

[@dirk2655]

Thanks Dane. I've working creating my own books now since 21. Thanks for your help!

[@honeybee4775]

Just getting started and this was very helpful. Thanks, Dane.

[@coalachaos6486]

Thank you for your video. I am currently on a serious number of projects. I am writing 13 textbooks plus 2 screenplays. I am facing the issue of having no time because with the textbooks there are mobile apps in the development PLUS I am working full-time in a totally different branch. As I can say from my experience now - This is a very very easy way to do it. But if you are short on time, or jump between different manuscripts, you have to do all the presets before. Therefore I recommend using a format for both pages and text-bodies. For example its one click for a page break, or just one click to bring the headline in place, with specialties such as a larger first character, or the size of the break between the headline and first text-body. It is terrible to do that after another - And being realistic - 130 Pages is not much. If you are doing that for each page after completion, it is going to consume a lot of time. Plus, if you want to have a cooperate design throughout a book series, there are tiny slips you can make to mess things up. Save time, prepare the document before you work in it. But thank you very much for your video! All the best!

[@DesIngham]

Can`t tell you how helpful this video has been, thanks Dane, will be putting all your tips into practice when I format my new book this week

Thank you. I wasn't even aware MS Word could be used to ready a book for publication, particularly on Kindle. I was under the assumption you needed a special program to upload onto Kindle. You've simplified the process for me. Thanks again.

When Dane says "squared off" for the word alignment, it's called "justified". Huge thanks for the time he took for this tutorial.

[@DaneMcBeth]

Thanks Marisa

[@EmunahFL]

The squared-off text is called Justified.

[@NEETmedicalGK]

Thanks

[@crystalmt1874]

For ebooks, what is the best way to have-what I like to call- margin quotes added to the text without interrupting the flow of the text? I hope this makes sense.

[@judithlegman3431]

Thank you for the clarifications. Just wanted to tell you that when text has straight-up&down margins, that's called 'justified'.

[@DixonElizabeth]

Very helpful; thank you. ("Justified margins/text").

[@DaneMcBeth]

No problem!!

[@KatiaFerreira]

Thank you so very much

[@fionahowellwrites5302]

This is helpful, thank you. Do you ever use Indesign? Do you hire an editor or do you use an editing program? What would you recommend?

[@MartinPigg1]

Thanks so much for your video. What line spacing is best for formatting? I created my manuscript with 2.0 spacing but that's obviously too much. 1.0 seems too close together. 1.2 and 1.5 are available. What is your opnion?
