      Yea that’s how I was taught in high school and apparently it no longer applies.

    Microsoft Word has a nice book manuscript template! This is very helpful. I am so guilty of hitting enter instead of page break! Yikes!,

    I'm trying to write a recipe book what are your suggestions on margin spacing and so on I'm absolutely new to Microsoft Word online even though I've been using my Google docs from my phone for other things I haven't really paid that much attention to formatting now that I want to really be serious about using either software. HELP WANTED, and thanks for all the videos I'm learning a lot I guess I'm just wanting to learn faster and my brain can't catch up just yet 🤪

    Hi, I love the video, I just have one question. Can I write the page number as a footer?

    • @thelifeofawriter
      @thelifeofawriter  ปีที่แล้ว

      It should be in the header. Check out this video 👉🏾 th-cam.com/video/FIanLSngKI4/w-d-xo.html

    How would you suggest using Roman Numerals for chapters instead? Is that okay? Would we just put I, II, III - or type out Chapter I, Chapter II, and Chapter III?

    2 spaces? I’ve always been told to put one space after a sentence 😂

    • @thelifeofawriter
      @thelifeofawriter  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was the old school way of doing it 🤣

  • @kaitlyncleary3424
    @kaitlyncleary3424 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I never heard of two spaces after a period. Must have been before me

    • @thelifeofawriter
      @thelifeofawriter  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Probably so. It's pretty old school, but some don't know it has changed.

    Oh it has to be double spaced? Oops. Thanks!!
