These templates include formatted front matter (e.g., title page, table of contents) and chapters with placeholder text. You'll customize the parts you want to keep and delete the sections you don't. Note: Does your manuscript contain images or graphics that 'bleed' to the edge of the page? If it does, you'll need to increase the trim size.

Add 0.125' to the width and 0.25' to the height. For example, if your trim size is 6' x 9', set the page size to 6.125' x 9.25'. To change the page size: • In the 'Page Setup' section of the Layout tab, click Size. • Select More Paper Sizes.

This will open a dialog box. • Enter your book's trim size, including bleed, into the 'Width' and 'Height' fields. • In the 'Preview' section, select Whole document from the 'Apply to' dropdown menu. This will resize your pages and change your page count. Tips for formatting your front matter: • Copy and paste. If you copy content from another document and paste it into the template, the formatting may transfer and need to be corrected. You can add an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) to your copyright page if you want, but it’s not required.

If you do add it, make sure it matches the number assigned to your book. If you add the number, format it like this: 978-X-XXXX-XXXX-X. • Table of contents.

Add the page numbers later. When you insert your book content into the chapters, the page numbers will shift. • Placeholder text. Before you start customizing the chapter pages, check that there's no placeholder text left in your front matter.

If you dont want to keep a front matter section, you'll need to delete the placeholder text and the section itself. Here's how: • Go to the Home tab in Word. • In the 'Paragraph' section, turn on the Show/Hide button (¶). This will help you see where section breaks begin. • Highlight the placeholder text in the section you want to remove. • Hit the Delete key. • Place your cursor in front of the Section Break marker.

• Hit the Delete key. Highlight the chapter you want to delete and hit the Backspace key. • Customize headers second. After you add or delete chapters, update the headers.

To replace the placeholder text for the book title (odd pages) and author name (even pages) with your information: • Double-click on the header. • Highlight the placeholder text and hit the Delete key. • Add your information, including additional formatting (e.g., font). Make sure the title and author name match exactly what you enter during title setup.

This work was censored by the military dictatorship in the 70s, after writing a few chapters. Meanwhile, mysterious facts surround Asa Branca, such as a Werewolf, a film crew who are trying to shoot a movie about Roque's story, and violent murderers. This soap opera is the most magnificent metaphor for Brazilian society, enslaved by religion and the power of politicians and aristocrats. Dias Gomes writes about small towns in marvelous satires of local authorities and their hypocrisy.
