1. Introduction— Unleash Your Creativity With Ebook: way. 2. Choosing Ebook Topics to Write: 3. Formatting Word for Kindle (EPUB or MOBI): Hello, everyone. My name is subject time. This is a tutorial to show you how toe prepare Microsoft Word document before we can convert the human in tow on e pop Or more be these three standard palm it off E book. So, um, on the screen here can see I have for Microsoft Would file this is actually on the left. Here is actually a plane. Ah, Microsoft. What file before it is for mated. So if I scroll down these atop the title of the book and there's a subtitle My name and the next patients a copy like pitch. And it's a dedication pitch which is optional and a table of contents doing we can We're going to put a table off content here, then the acknowledgement pitch, professor, introduction. Then these better, um actual Bookstop. Eso I have two parts in this document or in this manuscript, but one. There will be a few chapters in 11 So we started chapter one and I started checked the one every chapter. Usually I like I like to put a court here. Then the paragraph start here. Then if I go down Thistle, the shocked chapter for these exercise. I have Chapter two here at the end of this document, and I scrolled down again and kept three there. Ship? No, this is a little but one, which is, uh, there three chapters there and it's the beginning of part two and continue. We checked up five. Check the six. Chapter seven, gentle eight, Chapter nine and chapter 10. So that's the end of the script and baseless information about the author at the end of this document. So that's it. So this is actually a plane unfermented Microsoft word document on the right here. This is actually how the final document after we apply a proper for mating is can see here . The title is Iqbal and bigger phone and stop title and daughter's name. And the title is actually sent that vertically on the page. Okay. And an expression of this Ah, copyright, uh, tax there on dedication page. And here I have instructed the table off content. So I will show you how to insert the stable content after you have applied proper for mating. This We do it towards the end and did acknowledge one. And buffets No, a part one here. Um I insert picture and I sent a, uh, politically on this pitch, then chipped the one start here at the top of this page. And you can see I have permitted the court in different color and, um, the tax, He's just a normal text and chapter to begin again here. And I scrolled down chapter three. All the chapter start at the beginning of a teach. So it took the four here and now eso there are four chapters in part one. Then these are beginning or part two again, I have a picture. So this kind of a divider between different parts up there or different section over there , Michael So of what fine here. Then started with kept a five sakes seven it nine and 10 and information on authors a T end here so you can see the difference between the plane tax document after before and after for mating. So after we have for making what document, probably in the next video in the next unit, I will assure you how toe form it and convert is Microsoft would document using ah application called calibrate or caliber, and we will apply a proper conversion here how this will be in the next video and put in the cover pitch. And finally we will open. Ah, the resulting eat up, Keep up for Mitt in the reviewer. So there's how the books the final books looks like from my car. So what in and then we convert into the pop using calibre. So he's basically this is a table of content that we have been centered in one document and it's part one. Begin here and check the one and so on. So, basically, I will show first, um, the first video here in the fourth tutorial how to format this plane. What document? And get these results. So basically, when you work in Microsoft Word, um, to prepare the Microsoft word document in tow, a proper form it for conversion into eat up. The most important thing is you must work with style. So I'm using Microsoft. What? Uh, wishing 2016. Nothing. 2017 here. The letters we should wish I don't know from Microsoft 365 So your Microsoft what? Maybe off a different vision Or maybe the older version. So maybe he looks slightly different in terms off how the different many. We here is, uh, the spread or located by the most important that you just need to find the style, the style, um, like, you can see here. So basically, what we want to do is to apply a proper style into the heading or subheading all attacks in the document. Um, I prefer to use this style pain here and again. Your my constable question maybe works slightly different. But basically, what you want toe find is where you can find hitting one hitting toe, hitting three and so on here. Okay, so now let's start with the first Presha. Uh, this is title of the book. So for the title of the book, I want to apply a style called Title. So you should be able to find the hitting Nocerina style called Title in Your In Your Style Menu or List. So all you need to do is tow highlight the title, and then click. Ah, yeah. I tell, uh, style here to apply. Um, so this actually redefined form it if I put a customer here, so the style is fallen can see it for 36. Ah, and all those taxes actually the description here. Style applied for the title of us defined by Microsoft Word document. You can actually change the style and really find the style, But I don't want toe spend time on only on here, so I just show what it was. Style. That's a really pretty fine by Microsoft word here, but after you apply the style, you can still actually apply. You know, change the phone if you like. Change the make it there in the middle here and make it bigger or smaller so it can still apply the normal permitting. Available on ribbon here. So I want toe center the subtitle. My name here. Okay, so and, um okay, I want o put these three lines here and center it in the middle between the top and the bottom page. Okay. Um, so I just want to apply on this page. I want to make it in the middle. So why can do I highlight this three lines here and I go toe, uh, for May document. And here on the pitch particular Lyman, I want toe released on the top. I want to send to it, but I don't want to apply this toe the whole document. But I just want to apply to the selected tax. Then I click. OK, That I can see now The taxi is centered in the middle off the page between the top and bottom page. Okay, so, um, okay, by doing that, I have created a blank pH. So I don't want the blank page here. Okay, What I can do here, there's, um this symbol here. This actually Ah, a paragraph omitting if you turn it on You can see all the for mating. Like where you put a paragraph break where you put it But you press enter where you apply the section break to separate the patient separate section So if you scroll down, you can find all that is speech break They're So all you need to do is to select this on delete so that now I have this patient and I don't have a blank page between this page. Okay? So you can see your there's a paragraph mark here. So many meaning that you know, I pressed three times, return your toe, put this thing slightly below. Certainly down many 10 off. Better girl for meeting was okay, so Okay. Table of content. We will insert a table of contents after we have applied all the for mating. No. Uh, no. Which one is there? So I don't want to change anything. All right, Professor, Seriously, be there. Okay? No, but one I want want want to be on a separate page. So what I can do here? I can put it closer there. Then I can go toe insert or I can go to Inside here. Hang, find fish break. Okay, um, fish break here or you can hear using Rivonia insert Pedro's had fish break. Okay, so no part one is on his own page. Okay. Ah, I want to make this phone bigger. Let's say size 20. I want to play in the middle. Then I want to insert a picture. This is a picture here. So I go toe, I find my pictures, OK? It is a picture and what to use. So I destroyed it inside here. Too big. I can resize it. We slightly bigger. Okay, so, um, I want to make this, uh, in the middle or so I just select the tag, send a picture and go toe homemade document and what he called Lyman. Make it center. Apply to selected sections. Had Okay, so I have now the picture and attacks for part one, which is kind off divider for the different section here. Right. Okay. Now, I have kept the one here, so I want that kept the one to start in the middle. Guyton on the for mating mark here again because I don't wanna I just did it. All right. Okay. So, um, it is very important to have a fish break for before we begin each chapter here. Okay, So you must apply. For example, here we can see the Pittsburgh If I delete this fish break, what happened is checked. The one was thought here. So for able, you want to make sure that every chapter start on its own page. So, um, toe to ensure that, you know, you can put a coaster anywhere, uh, here and checked the one. Then go to insert and fine fish break. So by meeting, by applying a page straight, you can ensure that the chapter will study on his own page at the top of the page. So now I want to apply the highlight. The name of a chapter. I want to apply cheating one full for a chapter. Oh, um, sorry. Not heading one. I want to apply heating, too. Why heading to? Because Ah, but one Here. I want to apply. Hating one. Okay, Okay. Make it in a bid. Oh, all right. So for the chapter heading, I apply heading to Okay, Maybe I want to make it a bit bigger, so I I choose Ah, highlight and Portero and say 20 and put it in the middle. And that's a court there. Ah, so I want toe make the court in red color. Just toe highlight. Okay. Head Nambia making. Okay, So now you have, uh, the checked the techs, so I don't do for Mitt. So this chapter tech is usually take the normal. Ah, style can see when I highlight the text, consider the stylist. I like that in. Yeah, blue color here. So I go down and scroll down and find chapter to As I said, check to now, uh, start here by the other one. Each actor to start at the beginning of a pitch. So again, I put a concert here and go to insert and fine fish break. Okay, Then again, I like the title and apply heating too. And make it in the middle. Okay, then. This is a court naked Rick Kahler making the middle and this one too. Okay, so it was good. Scroll down for the There's a chapter three again. Put a coaster there. Go to insert. So you will repeat this process. Apply now it come toe, but to so again, apply pitch trick, then another pitch break. So that part two will be also on page. So this part too. So remember, for part two, we apply Heading style one size, heading one, then again sent eight Had I want toe put a picture, another picture so that, uh, it'll the reader would know that. Okay, this is, uh, beginning off section toe, but too. Okay, so no Chapter five, remember? So maybe I like toe work with paragraph of meeting. Also, that I know. Okay, this extra, uh, we didn't there. Okay, so there's already a pish break and separate this section with the with the beginning. Objective five. So now I again would be the same person you're waiting to hear. Uh said good. Then this The court again sent Kate, We're heading to home, and okay, I'm thinking we almost done. So what we what I'm doing here? Basically, Ah, just to apply the hitting style to a chapter and toe the section. So no, I think that's all we need. Okay, Maybe need this one again if peace big again. And did you know the problem? A buggy with the Okay, So, um, I think that's about all, um we don't apply the heading style when we do table of contents. The heading would not be included in the table of contents. So it's up to you where they want to include it in the table of contents or no. So now, um, after we have applied old dating style, Now we can insert a table of content. We goto this page table of contents. Okay. Uh, then when can do here? Used to go toe references, can find type of content. Then you can find actually, uh, people style off. Why? Paranoid would see the style. You should see the display wholeness, this Taliban. You cannot secure stars, custom table of contents, and you can choose uh, no. Traditional glossy, a temporary more than four months. Simple. So let's see. Ah, I accuse you can choose a classic form A Oh, you like to try Also, this permit can signatures. I'll go for plastic show level in this case, uh, we don't have three. We have only two level. So heading one heading toe show pish number and write a line and table idoki. We can use the daughter line. Okay, Didn't click. OK, so you have it. Okay, so it is that they will call then you can actually highlight and you can for married as usual. So maybe I don't want bull. I want to apply the board early 72 phone and maybe 12 point. Okay, get a switch off the turn off the paragraph vomiting. So I think now, our basically we have permitted about Microsoft Word document, and we can no save it. Uh, save its service put on, uh, they stopped, They call it, uh, what? Manuscript? For mated. All right. And I put it on the desktop and seven s dot You always see X, which is, like, what? Document? From it. And we exhibit. Okay, so basically, that's the end off this tutorial. Ah, basically, that sees the, um how you can. That is how you permit the Microsoft Word document. Probably, uh, prepaid before we can company into any part. Okay. And in the next video, I will show you how toe use ah application called caliber or calibrate some people call it toe convert. The Microsoft Word document there has been fermented properly in tow, an EPA or movie form it for in the book and ready to be uploaded to kindle Amazon kindle or some other life. 4. Creating Table of Content for E Book: Hi. Hello. Everyone in this tutorial going to show you how toe create a proper table of content and e book police refer to my previous tutorial on for mating. What document? Where in Dictatorial. I also sure how toe quit Table of contents in, uh, Microsoft would so let Ah. So this is my A book reader. Amusing. I book for Mac. So these are their e books on my i application. So let me just show you example off table of contents. Um, full for this one can see. Um, this is actually the table of content created in orginal. What document? Which we can insert in the document itself. Provided every killings, men, headings and sub heading is given the style beheading style, for example. Consider. But one in the step of content is actually even hitting one. And each chapter kept the one and the chapter 10 here. The chapter is given heating, too. So when we compile when we consider table would actually will I strike? No, it's hitting and the subheading based on heading that we have assigned to each chapter. This is, uh, another example of a table of contents and this type of table content is not actually considered in the original. What document? But brother, this time, table content is considered during the conversion off the wood document in application such as caliber. So we insert the stable content in the caliber application rather than in the coastal water . So there are two options. You can insert table content in the orginal Microsoft. What document or my recommendation is use because Shin such as caliber toe incident, table contents. So any book must have a table of contents. So there's a requirement. Then there are two types of table of contents. Example in any A book reader, for example, in my iBook here Ah, you will see this icon and the cycle Menu Creek. It will actually give the table of contents for the whole book. And this type of table content is called logical table of contents. And these are standard in any e book reader. You will see this type of content and provided that you have prepared Leo. What document? Properly, Mr Content will be shown correctly the second time. They will content the one that we, um, insert in a program like caliber these called in line table of contents, but both cable content actually served the same purpose. For example, here, uh, ish chapter here is actually a happening. So if you click for example, Chapter six year, it will take you to that page or to get chapter automatically. And, uh, you can go back using this type of content. I say go back to Chapter one bullpen ones here. So, um, in this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to create both table content. The one that is called logical Table of Content, which is committed Klay created during the conversion off. What document? And the second type of cable content is this one? It is in line, people content, which is incident. Okay, which is created doing the conversion using program like Caliban. So let's go to the are you know what document here? Um, this document has been formatted. Probably so you can wash my tutorial on for mating. What document? For Kindle or for the Pop. So, um, basically, the most important thing is you must form it. They're hitting and the subheading in your document using for prop using the hitting style . So, in your wood program, you can find the style. So your your what program? Maybe looks like the different. Because I'm using what, 2017 for Mac. But somewhere you can find the style started can apply in your in your program. For example, here when I click style pin here so you can see a but one here I apply hitting one. Then each chapter, for example, kept the one here I apply heading to. So you can we save for all the chapters. Check the to here is also given style heading to So you this, um it is very important. You know, if you apply the proper the proper style to your chapter or to your headings, this will be a structured probably during Ah, uh when you create a table of contents. So let's see. Let's see. I want to put it all into the incident table content here. Maybe after, uh, okay, after copy right here. So instead of pitch break, okay. So that it can start on a new, uh, pitch, then? Ah, I see. It is, uh, table content. And so instead of table content can go toe Rep Francis. And here you can see table of contents then you have a different style that you can choose here. They say we choose the 1st 1 classic classic for me. So automatically you can see the table of content is generated automatically. When you insert that, they will content. And you can see that each hitting, uh, he's listed here because we have a signed their style, uh, properly when we form it there. What document? And of course, you can select and do for the information for somebody want to change maybe the title phone Jane this ice and let a swan anyone make it bigger, Let's say 20 and bull and send Billy. Okay, So, basically, that's all, uh, you need to do, then you have a table of contents considered in this world document itself. I can say this. Let me see your CB's s. Did they stop and save? Okay. You know, um, toe generate the proper table content and convert the word document in tow. A pop or movie. I use this program called Caliber. Okay. So we can see here. Decided how caliber program looks like. And this had a list of books which I have committed in tow. So let's get the book. Let's head world. What document? That we have a form. It's just now this one and edit metadata and give the name called his motion six. And for the name of the water. Okay, then I would border toe. You can change your cover. The book. Uh, but I just want to use these. This one, it's a cover and, uh, pick. OK, then click Convert books and this is the part of it is very important because we want toe at a table of contents. So I will skip this item and just go straight notable content and, uh, the most important part here. First check the output form area is top or more be. Let's say this case I want to contact the pop. Then, uh, Level one is actually hitting one, which we assigned toe Part one and part two, which is a section in my e book. And level two is actually the style applied toe. The chapter which is heading to okay, then money. But it also toe click here manually find you in the table of contents. The condition is completed. Just toe. Make sure everything is done properly. Then here under a pop output. Um, you want toe klik instead? In line, table of contents. So caliber will insert a table of contents inside a book and can give a title off the incident. Type of content. That's a contends. Then we already know Toe convert. The what? Document in tow. An iPod. So you can see the conversion here. So these are the OSI X, the original file. Okay, after the condition is done because remember, just now we take a short able content off the conversion. So it was show now, So I can do here. Please explain. All so all you can see the green tick next to the chapel. So if the commission is not done properly, or if there is some problem or issues you know, a Microsoft word document, you will see these. Ah, instead of green think. Here we have. Ah, great. A circle. Which means that there's something wrong with the link. So limit to do some changes. But in this case, get all green picks. So everything is OK then, um medical click. Ok, Okay. So now you can view the keep up in the air in your we don't just this it'll be OK then You can see but one but two and can go from Chapter two checker. So everything is link properly. Then, um, click here path click photo open. So it will actually open the folder containing all the files and the e part that we have completed successfully. So if I click this double click basic will open in my book reader because I've been on my I met on my Mac and is the one and let's see whether everything looks OK so you can see it is that the book cover and I content on the second pitch here, then this a title page copyright and received. It is a table of content that we have considered in Microsoft Word. So we have to table of content here. This one is the one institute in the caliber program, and this table content is actually institute in the Microsoft. What? No, come on itself. So my suggestion is we we don't really need this table content so we can remove this in in Michael. So what? Um, but we can actually retain the stable content and here can see this is logical table content. Just your standard in all reader and in all evil there. So we can see we have all the chapters there he stood, probably. So, um, another thing that you can do is now we have vegetable content and this table of contents, but we want toe. I suggest we retain this one and we remove this one. And I don't want the table content to appear right after the cover, but I want the table contento I one day after the cover. I want these type ill, um, page to appear and table content after that. So what I can do is I can go back toe caliber program and select uh uh, file. And here are the top here because I can see edit book so quick that and these where we can do some changes here. You can see on the left hand side. Here is a title page that will think that you can see the preview here, and this is the extreme cold. The worry about it and is a content which is the table contended that we create created in the Taliban. So I want this to appear the table contento appear after the title page So there's a title page. So what I can do here? I just click and direct it here so that after the tight after the cover, then I have the title page, then only I have a table content. Okay, Let's see, Where is the other table content which we created in the course of this is one. Okay, I can see you. These are actually Table contended we created Microsoft. What? So I think we don't need this. So way can do is we see Like that? And personally. Okay, then, um that's all that we need to do some changes so quick. Save here. Close this automatic leader. It pop will be updated. So if we go back to the original of the folder and we double click this so we have actually a new bush and remember Ah, in the original vision, we have the cover and that it table contents. But now we have changed the position so that the title page appear next to recover. Then we have a table of content here. Then we don't have the other table content because we every move it in caliber. Guess No. So, basically, that's how we create people content for the book using calibre Eiseley 5.
