Professional Book Formatting

About this course

This course teaches professional book formatting in Microsoft Word, which means turning plain text into an organized book that is ready for printing or publishing. It walks through the basic settings every book depends on. It starts with adjusting the main options in the program, then setting the book size according to the printing you want, then setting the margins, and after that setting the binding space that is left inside the page so the text is not lost when the book is bound. The course suits authors, writers and publishers, anyone preparing a book, a research paper or a notes file, and anyone who wants to learn the commands and secrets of formatting in Word. You do not need much previous experience. It is enough to know how to open the program and type text, and the lessons are taught on screen step by step. By the end you will be able to prepare a Word file with the right size, margins and binding, and format your book with a professional look that is easy to share with readers or send to the printer. Each lesson builds on the one before, and you can return to any lesson whenever you like.
