Formatting Your Book
Use the following guidelines when using MS Word:
Set the Page Size to A4
Set all margins to the same setting minimum 20mm for all 'book sizes'.
Set the type size to 12pt 'Justified' text for A4 finished book size.
Set the type size to 14pt or greater 'Justified' text if the A4 document is to be used to print a smaller than
A4 book, e.g. 'Royal', 'A5' or 'Demy' (see the estimate page for a list of available sizes).
