Every single paragraph has to be tabbed by hand (one really stupid software design choice of the program).ĥ. Body text is size 11 font with 1 em line spacing.Ĥ. I really like how it reads compared to other fonts I’ve seen so far.ģ. I copy and paste every single chapter of the book by hand. The larger templates will clip and the smaller templates seem specialized. In the case of a 5×8 book it seems to work alright. In my case I use that second novel template shown highlighted in blue. This is done through the menu with Add/Insert > Add Page Numbers…įor every single page in the main text, you have to apply one of the page templates. I also add pages numbers starting on page 5 in my case. This needs to be handled manually with Blurb (with CreateSpace the template is smart enough to make it work as it should without caring about which page is on what physical page). Page numbering conventions: Standard practice is to have odd numbered pages on the right and even on the left. I delete the template afterward because it is just used to align the two header texts. In this case you add text containers and position them to align with a temporary layout applied (the second novel one in my case). When I added those pure white graphics earlier to the first three pages, I was intending to cover up what is done here because the headers shouldn’t show up on those three pages.

This is where you can add things that will show up on every single page. The above graphic shows the “background” area. There might be other ways to deal with the issue I will describe, but I haven’t found it yet. Inside that graphic I put a small 100% white PNG file of pretty much any size and make sure it is Forward to cover that area.

I position a graphic photo container above those three pages (it should lock into position when you drag the edges around.). Title page with book title and author nameįourth page: You need a blank page or something else in this case because the text should start on the right with page number 1 (a convention I’ll mention later). Standard BW Paper (hopefully cream, not sure yet…)Īdd a bunch of pages in the right panel that displays the side by side pages.

In this process I’m basically copying text from a finished book document into the Blurb program.

In this case there is a lot of manual adjustment needed, which is time consuming and prone to human error. As I mentioned in a previous post, this program is better than other options, but itself has a lot of drawbacks. I’m writing down this process in the eventual case where I forget one or more steps to the process.
