BOOKS AND MANUALS
Books and Manuals are typed using Microsoft Word V2000 or PageMaker V9 and can be formatted with any one or all of the following options:
* Title Page, Copyright Page, Dedication, Epigraph (quote) page, Table of Contents, List of Illustrations, List of Tables, Preface, Acknowledgement Page, Introduction, Chapter Headings and sub-headings, Headers, Footers, Index, Appendix and Glossary
* Font and back printing so that page numbers and/or headers and footers fall in the proper place on the odd and even numbered pages.
* Formatting follows standard and recognized rules as outlined in The Chicago Manual of Style and Kate Turabian’s A Manual for Writers.
* For publication or printing on 3-hole punched paper, a .25” to .5” gutter is allowed on the inside of each page.
* Our standard font and size is Ariel or Times New Roman 12 points.
* For printing or publication purposes, line spacing is set at 1.5”, margins 1” top, bottom, left and right.
* Text can be formatted for outline numbering or bulleted.
* Page numbering can from the beginning of the book to the end or chapter by chapter in any style.
* Tables, figures, diagrams, illustrations, graphs, flow charts and other pertinent data can either be laid out/created directly in the Word document or in Microsoft Excel or Access with links embedded in the Word document.
* Pages can be laid out in columns.
* For proofing and editing purposes through “file sharing” with others, manuals and/or books can be saved in various versions with comments and changes clearly noted.
* The files can also be saved in PDF format to be forwarded to a printer for publication, a client or prospects for marketing/promotional purposes or to your internet Web Master for inclusion in your web site.
* Photographs, graphics images and pertinent documents can be scanned for insertion.
* We work with graphics designers for those customers who require special graphics designed for either the content of the book or the cover, back and spine prior to publication.
* We work with professional proof readers and ghost writers for those customers who desire that service.
* We assist customers who choose to have their books published in obtaining the appropriate publisher, on-demand publisher, binder and/or printer.
