    About this ebook

    For those of us who write books, Microsoft Word 2010 has 5 magic sections we use to get the format just right.
    I’m going to take you through each of the areas and show you exactly how to format your document so that your final book will pass the formatting requirements of the publisher. If you use this guide effectively the final book can look like the books made by the big 6 printing houses.
    Let’s begin the journey through the Microsoft Word software and see how it’s done, and why.
