Book Formatting – The Steps to a Good Book

We use Microsoft Word, Adobe Indesign, Adobe Photoshop and LaTeX software. Microsoft Word is typically preferred by customers as an excellent all-round option at the cheapest price, InDesign and Photoshop are required for decorative CMYK text and covers and LaTeX is sometimes preferred for highly mathematical texts. Every manuscript then follows a series of steps to become a professionally formatted book.

Typesetting

  • Set precise line spacing and indentation to create a polished finish
  • Select suitable serif or sans serif fonts according to whether usage is printed or on-screen
  • Set kerning and hyphenation to optimal settings for easy reading
  • Style multi-level lists, numbering and bullets for total consistency throughout document
  • Activate widow and orphan controls to ensure odd lines don’t end up alone on a page
  • Style drop caps, fancy fonts and decorative paragraphs at customer request

Layout

  • Set paper size, page balancing and precise margins to best balance internal text area
  • Style chapter and section headings to ensure uniformity throughout the document
  • Set appropriate running headings with author and tile on left and right pages
  • Use page numbering schemes, typically with roman numerals for front matter
  • See book covers for more information on our cover design service

Objects

  • Set figures from multiple files in the correct format, resize and place precisely
  • Ensure full picture quality is retained whether raster or vector graphic
  • Re-colour and style diagrams where appropriate to match rest of document
  • Process tables with identical surrounding space, justification and padding
  • Place identically styled captions with tables and figures typically including chapter number
  • Precisely set equations with consistent appearance and label accordingly

Referencing

  • Style inline citations and reference text with parenthetical or note citation systems
  • Produce full dynamic table of contents and figures – includes multi-file documents
  • Fix bibliography to ensure complete adherence with styling preferences
  • Full indexing service available upon request
