https:\/\/moonrox.wordpress.com\/2016\/12\/11\/format-your-book-for-createspace\/.\u00a0<\/a>This is an updated post with the same information that saved my sanity last time.<\/p>\nSince I found this information so important, I posted it on the Dunedin Writers Group Facebook page. Here it is:<\/p>\n
Formatting Your Headers and Footers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Go to the first page of your story. (Story, not Front Matter.)\n
\n- Click INSERT.<\/li>\n
- Click HEADER.<\/li>\n
- Choose your Header Style. (I usually use Blank.)<\/li>\n
- Type the name of your book. (I recommend using a smaller font.)<\/li>\n
- Highlight what you just typed and Right align it. (On the Home Tab.)<\/li>\n
- Under HEADER & FOOTER TOOLS click ODD & EVEN PAGES.<\/li>\n
- Make sure LINK TO PREVIOUS is not selected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- Now go to the second page of your story.\n
\n- Click the Header and type your name.<\/li>\n
- Highlight what you typed and Left align it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- You should now have your Title on the right and your Name on the left on alternating pages.\n
\n- Check to be sure the header hasn\u2019t shown up on your Front Matter.<\/li>\n
- If it has, delete it and de-select LINK TO PREVIOUS on each page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- Go back to the first page of your story.\n
\n- On the left-hand side of the HEADER & FOOTER TOOLBAR, you will see Page Number. Click it.<\/li>\n
- Choose Bottom Of The Page.<\/li>\n
- Choose your style. I use Plain Number 2.<\/li>\n
- Note: You will have to do this twice\u2014once for the right-hand (odd) side and once for the left-hand (even) side.<\/li>\n
- Note: You may have to format the page numbers to get them to run consecutively. To do that, click Page Number again and scroll down to Format Page Number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
I suggest you go directly to the link listed above and read the entire post. It is full of great, time-saving information. Better yet follow Roxanne. She sends valuable information periodically without being obnoxious.<\/p>\n
Next up is ISBN number and more. Stay tuned.\u00a0![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thomasmcgann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/FotoFlexer_Photo-Quill-e1420741009577.jpg\")

Copyrighting and formatting your work follow the the same procedures as previously posted. (See\u00a0“To Copyright or Not to Copyright – That is the Question” at\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/thomasmcgann.com\/so-you-want-to-be-an-author\/copyright-copyright-question\/\u00a0and “Formatting your manuscript for paperback publication Part II” at\u00a0http:\/\/thomasmcgann.com\/so-you-want-to-be-an-author\/formatting-manus\u2026lication-part-ii\/ \u200e) A review of these posts is definitely in order for those who still believe in the concept of the “Poor Man’s Copyright,” (not a good idea) or who have problems with formatting. The only thing I did differently this time around is that I registered my copyright electronically. It’s just as easy (easier in fact) and saves money.
