Set Up Text

Once you have your book's trim size and page layout established, it's time to set up the text.

CTRL-A to highlight your entire document.

Right click on highlighted text.

Choose Paragraph
> Alignment: Justified
> Special > First Line: 0.3” >
> Spacing before and after should be 0
> Line Spacing 1.25

Click “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style”

Do not click OK

Click “Line and Page Breaks”

Uncheck all options except “Don’t hyphenate” (as in: CHECK “don’t hyphenate”)

Now click OK

While text is highlighted, select your font style and size. My favorite is Garamond, 11pt, but other popular choices are Times New Roman, Baskerville and Book Antiqua.
