Format Word Document Again

July 12th, 2009 Comments off

Hi
I’ve got a couple of pesky problems with my document —

1. There is a line in the footer above the page number. I don’t like it and would like it to go away.

2. BEFORE you do that, notice that there is a nice, pleasing amoutn of space between the last line of text on any page and the aforementioned line. BUT on a FEW pages, the last line of text is HUGGED right up agains this line — this looks very crowded an unnattractive, and EVEN THOUGH you will be removing this line, this crowded-ness leads me to believe that there is something wrong in the spacing or margin here.

OTHER: The ‘rules’ of my publisher say that my left and right margins have to be the same and my top and bottom have to be the same. I received a copy of this as a printed book and the previous left and right margins of .5 were not enough, so I’ve got them set at .7 — with a .25 gutter which should be enough. Also keep in mind I have different odd and even pages.

Very simple — I have a manuscript formatted for submission to publisher. It is divided into sections (I’ve forgotten how I did it!) so that a certain header appears for so many pages, then a different header for the rest. This is fine. However, I’m attempting to copy and paste the entire manuscript into a 6×9 word doc template so that I can have a self published printing done via lulu.com — the SECOND section of the book pastes fine, but the first section retains it’s original 8.5 x 11 format — so the “project” is that I need you to take my manuscript and paste it into my 6×9 template succesfully so the entire thing comes out 6×9 — this is something you either know how to do and can do in 15 seconds for a quick ten bucks, or you don’t . PLEASE don’t bid if you don’t absolutely know you can do this. I’m in a hurry.
