There are special formats of files and program readers for convenient reading of e-books, but many of them also apply to Doc and DocX formats. Registration of such files often leaves much to be desired, so in this article we will tell you how to make a book in the Word well-readable and suitable for printing in the book format.
Creating an electronic version of the book
1. Open the Word text document containing the book.

2. Come on the document, it is possible that it contains a lot of unnecessary, information and data that you do not need, empty pages, etc. So, in our example, this is a newspaper clipping at the beginning of the book and a list of what Stephen King put his hand to the moment of writing the novel "11/22/63" which is open in our file.
3. Highlight all the text by clicking "Ctrl + A".
4. Open the dialog box "Page settings" (tab "Layout" in Word 2012 - 2016, "Page layout" in versions 2007 - 2010 and "Format" in 2003).

7. With the choice of item "Brochure" Field settings (their name) have changed. Now in the document there is not a left and right field, but "Inside" and "Outside" What is logical for a book format. Depending on how you fasten your future book after printing, select the appropriate field size, without forgetting the amount of binding.
- Advice: If you plan to glue the sheets of the book, the size of the binding in 2 cm will be enough if you want to sew it or bore some other way, doing holes in sheets, it is better to do "Binding" A bit more.
Note: Field "Inside" responsible for indent text from binding, "Outside" - From the outer edge of the sheet.

10. Most likely, with a change in the orientation of the page, fields, font and its size, the text has shifted on the document.
