how to format Word pages to book/novel format b) move to website

[Charles]

I want to take the 500pgs or so, of a novel written in Word 03, and do two
things: a) find a wya to set up the pages to look like a book format, and b)
then transfer to my website those now book-looking pages to the
self-publishing website I own?

thank you for any advise on these two issues.

It would seem to me that knowing how to format books would be a prerequisite
for owning a self-publishing Web site.

A week or so ago, someone called Aaron Shepard posted essentially an
advertisement for his how-to book here, but it was a free download so
I suppose it wasn't entirely unethical:

I> 'm now offering a free sample copy in PDF of my book "Perfect
Pages:
|> Self Publishing with Microsoft Word." A link for viewing or
downloading
|> the file is on this page:

http://www.newselfpublishing.com/books/PerfectPages.html

|>
|> You're welcome to share this through any discussion group,
newsletter,
|> Web page, or blog.

It might be right up your alley.

I have no idea what that might have to do with making a website out of
it, though.

I have had a similar problem to yours. What I am doing is using the Catalog
template in Microsoft Publisher 2000, which works fine so far. I have only
transferred my Word novel file to make 13 pages, so far, but now I know the
tricks of Publisher so it will go a lot faster. A question I have about the
program is whether it has the memory capacity to handle one or several
novels. If you need some pointers on how to use the Catalog template to make
double pages, 5.5"x8" US, please just let us know.

I will keep my Word file up todate, in case I decide to send it to
publishers. At this point I'm just self publishing a few copies of my book
which at this point isn't really a novel, it's a series of personal stories
and vignettes about my childhood in Texas in the 1940s and 1950s.
