Ebook Schtuff
Well.
I thought it would never happen, but I am pleased to say that my ebook is done! YAAAAY!
Just this morning I finally got my page numbers fixed up (they were all kinds of wonky before) and I got all my links to be clickable in a PDF format. Phew.
edit: Argh! I cannot for the life of me remove the page number from my title page. I tried clicking the "different first page" button, but Word insists on number my title page. Any ideas, Word experts??)
Angela Barton kindly edited my book for me and caught all sorts of sloppy punctuation errors and typos...I'm very grateful for her help. After you look at an ebook for months, your eyes sort of start to glaze over and you just can't see things anymore. She has an eagle eye, so if you need some editing help, I'd definitely recommend her.
I need to get the shopping cart end of things set up for my book and test it out just to make sure everything is working properly, and then we'll be in business.
If all goes well, tomorrow will be the official launch day (well, it's not going to be that official).
Why am I telling you that today?
Because for the first 24 hours, I'll be giving you loyal readers a coupon code to buy the book for 50% off.
So, if you're the sort of reader that pops in every few days, make sure you stop in tomorrow so that you don't miss the 50% off deal.
Also, come back this afternoon for the second post in my REI series...I'll show you what we did with our REI gear!

YAY! That is so exciting that it is finished, congrats! I can't wait to check it out!
To fix your pagination problem, insert a section break (next page type) at the bottom of the front page then go to the footer/header where you want the page numbers to be on the following pages and turn off the "link to previous" button. This will allow you to start numbering the pages as you want. You will probably have to delete the page number from the front page.
Hope this works, sometimes Word is a pain and makes you fiddle with the process until it knows you are boss.
Good luck.
yes. i agree with Beth. This is what I was going to type. 🙂
Beth, you are my hero. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I got it fixed up now, and I am so happy. Yay!
Exactly what I was going to suggest - glad it worked.
The "page number format" in the footer window should allow you to start on the page you specify i.e. page 2.
Congratulations!
congrats! looking forward to checking it out 🙂
Delightful! Way to go, I'll be sure to stop in tomorrow (although I do most days 🙂
