Paragraph spacing error in Word
I'm trying to format a book for Createspace using Word 2007, and I keep having paragraph spacing issues. At the bottom of some of the pages is a gap of one sentence to an entire large paragraph. I've tried fixing it using widow/orphan etc. and even moving the stuff to the right place by hand, but every time I upload it to Createspace, it's still messed up somewhere in the document. I sent it to an interior layout person and he said I've got some weird code in there somewhere, but since he uses InDesign he is at a loss as to what's causing it. I used a template I downloaded from Createspace. Could that be the culprit? How can I fix this and get my book out there professional-looking?

Did you go through the Paragraph formatting in your Tools section?

Best thing to do is hire a pro so you can use your precious time for editing and writing. Services are getting cheaper and cheaper. We hire plumbers at $100 an hour to fix a leak so why not buck up $200-$300 to make sure your book looks good. Here's the company I used. Tom and Amanda will stick with you until it's done right. http://www.digitalbindery.com/
Good luck and make sure it's done-done and edited 100% before you start conversion.
Cheers

My love of fly fishing and surfing connects me to rivers and the ocean. Time with water reminds me to pursue those silly little streams of thought that run rampant in my head.
