Setting up a book for e-book conversion in Microsoft Publisher is a straightforward process, but it's important to keep in mind the specific requirements for e-book formatting. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to set up a book for e-book conversion in Microsoft Publisher:
Step 1: Open Microsoft Publisher and your book file: Open Microsoft Publisher and the book file you want to convert to an e-book.
Step 2: Check the layout: Verify that your book's layout is suitable for e-book conversion. E-books typically have a single column layout with a maximum width of 600 pixels. Make sure there are no elements that would be difficult to read on a small screen.
Step 3: Check the images: Make sure that all of the images in your book are of high resolution and are in a web-friendly format, such as JPEG or PNG.
Step 4: Check the hyperlinks: Verify that all hyperlinks in your book are working and that they point to the correct destination.
Step 5: Check the text: Make sure that the text in your book is formatted consistently and is easy to read on a small screen. Adjust the font size, line spacing and margins if necessary.
Step 6: Create a table of contents: Create a table of contents for your e-book by using the "Table of Contents" option in the "References" tab. This will make it easier for readers to navigate your e-book.
Step 7: Save the file: Once you have made the necessary changes, save the file as a PDF by going to the "File" tab and selecting "Save As." Under the "Save as type" drop-down menu, select "PDF."
Step 8: Convert the PDF to e-book format: Use a service like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, Draft2Digital, or Smashwords to convert your PDF to the specific format you want to use for your e-book such as epub, mobi, etc.
