Articles & Tips Do-It-Yourself Book Layout (With Microsoft Word) The advent of the word processor has opened doors to the average author that could only be imagined not more than a decade ago. Self Publishing has become a reality for tens of thousands of authors who would not otherwise be published due mainly to the low cost in getting a manuscript from the authors mind to the printing press. The first step is for the author to type their manuscript in a word processing program. After the manuscript has been edited, the intermediate step between the author's manuscript and the printing press is text layout or 'page composition' as it has been known for centuries. Programs like Microsoft Word make page composition look easy to the casual user, although true 'page composition' is still very much a learned skill perfected by few graphic designers. Keep this in mind as you attempt the do-it-yourself method of page layout and design. Word of Caution: The Do-it-Yourself method is not recommended if you are thinking of printing more than a couple hundred books. It is not that expensive (in most cases $250) to have your text professionally formatted. 'Homemade' is fine for small print runs. It will probably not, however, work in the mainstream publishing world. You are kidding yourself to think otherwise. NOTE: Do-it-Yourself means just that. You will be doing it yourself. There is no technical support offered beyond the text and links offered here on this page. Remember, your main energy should be saved for selling your book. If, after getting into it, the Do-it-Yourself method becomes more trouble than it's worth. We can do it for you for a reasonable fee. Before You Get Started.

There’s a standard novel manuscript format and it goes something like this: • A4 or letter paper • Times New Roman 12 pt • 2.5 cm or 1 inch margins • Double spacing • Indent the first line of each paragraph 1 cm or half an inch • No extra space between paragraphs • Author, title and page number in the top right-hand corner of each page • Begin new chapters on a new page. Letter/1 inch/half inch are for countries that use imperial units, A4/2.5cm/1cm for those that use metric. Most writers set this up every time they start a new story in Word. But you don’t have to. If you use a template you will turn out consistently formatted novels every time without having to do any manual setup. Where to get templates Microsoft has some standard manuscript formatting templates already set up. Or you can create your own. Today, I’ll show you how to find Microsoft’s preformatted templates. Next time I’ll show you how to create your own from scratch. Preformatted templates using Office 2013 I’m using Office 2013. If you’re using an earlier version of Word, you can do a similar thing, the actual steps may not be quite the same. • Open Word • This opens on the template page • Type manuscript into the search field and start searching (press or click on the magnifying glass) This brings up five potential templates you can use. The three that look most promising are: • Book manuscript • Story manuscript format • Story manuscript Results from a template search using ‘manuscript’ as the search term Let’s look at each of them in turn. Book manuscript Book manuscript template. This is the only template that includes a front page Book manuscript looks good. Inspecting it I can see that: • It’s letter size. Good for the US market, and I can easily change this to A4 if I’m in a metric country • It has all the author information you need on the front page • The header contains the story name, author name and page numbers • Text is 12 point Times New Roman • Margins, strangely enough, pick up my metric 2.5cm. Again, that’s easy to change • Text is double spaced • Chapter name is styled and defined as a heading type So far, I’m liking it. Now I’ll put on my Word guru hat and look more closely. What don’t I like about it? • There’s no line indent for the start of each paragraph. That means you have to tab in at the start of each paragraph. You shouldn’t have to do that. • Chapter name is not in the Style Gallery, so how does the poor inexperienced writer know how to use it Things I’m ‘meh’ about but that only impact me (in other words, personal preference) • It overrode my default dictionary • It uses content controls for the first page, in the header and in the chapter title but they don’t seem to do anything. (Think of content controls as fields you can fill in, like a form.) Outside of that, it’s definitely something you could use if you wanted to be up and running fast. Story manuscript Let’s look at the story manuscript template next. This one doesn’t have a front page. I’d consider this more of a short story manuscript. Story manuscript. Behind-the-scenes, this setup is similar to the Book Manuscript template. It looks similar to book manuscript template except that it doesn’t have a chapter title style. I’d guess that it was created by the same person, or that one was based off the other. It has the same issues as book manuscript template. The biggest of these is needing to tab at the start of every paragraph. Story manuscript format At first glance story manuscript format looks almost the same as the story manuscript template. Again, it’s more suited to a short story than to a novel because I think that for a novel a title page is good. The styles are very basic. Story manuscript format template. Looks similar, but it’s not. I like: • Finally, yes, indented first paragraph, so you don’t have to tab to start each paragraph. You cannot imagine how much time this will save you • The styling is basic, but it works. (Note however, that if you’re writing a novel, when you add your title page you’ll have a couple of problems with basic styling. I’ll get to that in another blog) Meh about: • The name and address at the top of the first page are in a table • Plus it overwrote my default dictionary again. The verdict If I had to recommend a template, I’d use the story manuscript format. For one reason, and one reason alone. Indented first line. There are things you can do to customise the templates, but that’s for another blog.

I would like to self-publish a book. The content is *far* more important than the layout. So I got Word 2007. I assumed I would be able to whip it open, choose from one of the many pre-installed book templates, and get busy working on the content. Apparently I was sadly mistaken! If I go to New, then under Templates, under Installed Templates, there isn't a single Book template! Then under Microsoft Office Online there is a category for Books, with 5 subcategories. Academic books. Now that sounds promising. One template for a cheesy looking 'yearbook page'. Everything else is silly or cheesy except under the 'other books' category there is a Book Manuscript -- but I don't need that, I'm not turning this over to a publisher, I am the publisher. The closest thing I could find is 'Book template in A5 format' which is not only not the right size, it is not very good, and it was uploaded by some member of the community. Also I found where you can search Templates for Book under Word, and again you get your Manuscript and a bunch of cheesy 'school book report' or 'family history book', etc. Where-the-heck is 'Next Great American Novel'??? OK, so here's my rant. But I hope I'm wrong and just *really* missing something! There are probably zillions of people who buy Word so they can write a book. They do NOT care about all the bazillion neat-o features of Word, they want to WRITE. They are interested in the content. The layout is way-secondary. And not only that, but probably 80% of the books in any bookstore could basically fall under about 10 templates -- black and white, functional but attractive fonts, a few beginning pages, TOC, header with book name on left pages chapter name on right pages, footer with page numbers left and right, and maybe about 10-15 Styles. I swear that would cover the format of nearly all novels, sci-fi books, classic works, self-help books, and probably many more. Make 10 such templates and then book WRITERS could just pick one, and get busy on the CONTENT, which I'm pretty sure is the most important part of any book! Microsoft really doesn't have a bunch of book templates a writer can just fire up and get busy writing, the format will be great, and the writer never has to think about formatting again? Do I have to become an expert in Word in order to write a book? Did I choose the wrong word processor? Am I totally missing something?? Each writer's style is different, so it is not surprising that there is such a lack of 'canned' templates for writing books. And, looking at books in bookstores will only show you the format that the 'publisher' has selected - who knows that the format of the book is when the writer delivers it to the publisher. Printing a multipage document in booklet form is a difficult task if you do it manually. You need to calculate page sizes and margins, and worst of all, you have to reorder the pages so that they come out in the proper order when the sheets are folded and collated. Fortu¬nately, Word can do all the hard work for you. This article describes how to create and print business cards in Microsoft Word. Can edit before printing. You may also want to save the document as a template. In Word 2007 or newer choose Start Mail Merge from the Mailings tab and select Labels Select your label type from Label vendors.

However, see this link, which may give you some ideas on how to go about setting up your 'book' so that it meets your own style: If you feel you have the urge, go ahead and try to create a template of your own and, if you are willing, share it with others. There are plenty of resources online to provide you the information you will need to get started. BTW, look through the site above, it has lots of information and links, where you might find just what you are looking for. Both of the prior answers are shocking, but I guess no longer surprising at this point. Microsoft has made BILLIONS from Word, and can't spend a few bucks to hire someone to create a few professional book templates? Absolute nonsense. Yes, each writer's style IS different -- where it matters, in the content. NOT in the layout. Do you really think the book Huckleberry Finn is a timeless classic because of the fonts and the header styles? Do you think if you took the Word template used to format the book Moby Dick and plugged in the text from Huck, then that book would now be totally different and no one would ever read it? Does it matter how the publisher formatted Don Quixote and that's why its a classic? How many websites and For Dummies books did Miguel de Cervantes have to read to figure out how to use his writing instrument? Why does Microsoft make that a requirement to use their writing tool? How many Miguels are out there today, fired up Word, found no templates, struggled to learn some formatting stuff, said forget this, and decided it wasn't worth it? If you read the book Robinson Crusoe on a Kindle all is lost, because it isn't true to the original authors vision of how it should be formatted? Wait, really?? Right -- the layout, the format, REALLY doesn't matter. It is the content that matters. And Microsoft should make it SIMPLE for an author to get writing, not to have to waste time figuring out how to get Word to work. Even just ONE good book template would be enough for most? Classics books. I tried to read Walden, but I didn't like the paragraph spacing. So I threw it out.:). As the others have said, Word will certainly help you write the book; it is up to the publisher to lay it out, whether this is a traditional mainline publisher or one of the many online print-on-demand subsidy publishers. If you want to be your own publisher, then you need to learn how to use Word to do the jobs that a publisher does, one of which is design and composition. You're right about one thing, however. It is the content that is important. If you are just starting to write a book, you need to be creating a manuscript, not a book. The type of layout you describe is applied after the book is finished and editing is complete. That sort of formatting can just get in the way while you are in the process of writing. You can find a rudimentary manuscript template. Microsoft MVP (Word) since 1999 Fairhope, Alabama USA http://ssbarnhill.com. A few responses to your responses. Word will certainly help you write the book; it is up to the publisher to lay it out. ' Maybe in the old days, but you can make a living writing AND publishing books yourself. Yes, that means creating a website, marketing, taking orders, printing and binding the books, and mailing them out. Here is an example of a guy doing it, he is a bit over-the-top and ridiculously opinionated, but I have found his real estate investing books to be extremely useful. '.Each writer's style is different, so it is not surprising that there is such a lack of 'canned' templates for writing books. ' Let me see if I've got this straight: Since each book is different, Microsoft decided to provide zero templates for books. Therefore since Microsoft does provide a template for Business Cards, by your reasoning all business cards are identical. Would you like to try again? '.If you feel you have the urge, go ahead and try to create a template of your own and, if you are willing, share it with others. There are plenty of resources online to provide you the information you will need to get started. ' But that's what I'm saying -- I don't want to dig through mountains of resources online that provide me with the information I need to get started. I purchased (!) of a word processing application from a multi-bazillion dollar company that has made bajillions of dollars off of this product, and seriously -- how much do you think it would cost them to hire a contractor to whip up a dozen book templates? They did pay someone to produce a dozen or so 'friendship and love cards' templates. But use a word processor for word processing a book? I must be crazy. And really, the idea that an author has to produce books in a way that they will end up in print at all is most likely going to go the way of the 8-track, cassette, buying music on CD, and soon buying movies and DVDs or BluRays. Amazon now sells more books on the Kindle than in print. Authors now sell millions of book each on the Kindle. Where is the Kindle Book Template in Microsoft Word? Maybe if Bill Gates makes another $50,000,000,000 then he might want to pay someone a few thousand dollars to make some book templates. Probably not, he does not have enough money yet. I am absolutely shocked that you all find it to be no big deal that Word has no book templates. How about this: what if Microsoft spends $100,000 and hires YOU for a year to crank out 24 book templates -- 2 per month. Microsoft can't afford that, and 'only' 24 templates would do no one any good anyway, obviously, since all books are sooooooo totally and completely radically different, and starting with some professionally produced templates would do you no good either, there would be nothing to learn there! Just start reading on the interwebs and figure it all out yourself. The least I could do is switch to, I can't see any real value in Word.. Microsoft actually supplies very few templates. If you look at the templates at Office Online, you'll see that most are furnished by third parties. Presumably they provide templates for which they perceive demand. Most of them are for documents that will be a single page or a set number of pages. They often rely heavily on text boxes and wrapped graphics that users end up coming here to get help in customizing. Creating a template for a 'long document' is much more complex, and such templates must be customized for a specific user. I have seen the results of a novice Word user attempting to use a dissertation template provided by his graduate school. I held his hand (through AllExperts) for over two years. In the process, under my guidance, the student took the template apart and put it back together again. He might as well have started from scratch, but in the process he did gain a thorough understanding of how Word works. And this is the vital point. How the document looks is just window dressing. If it doesn't work properly, then it will not be satisfactory for conversion to any kind of e-book or POD format. If it has been created properly using styles, then changing the style definitions (both font and paragraph format) and adding a few fillips here and there will radically change the appearance of the book.

I have used microsoft word/office to write a book and they stay in your way more than they help i save my program when it could not spell HEN as in little red hen thats right it wanted me to add this word to my dictionary. Think about it one of the first words you learn to spell in the English language is HEN as in little red hen.
