    Extra tips: Easiest way to justify text (makes life easier for long books) is to hit +A to highlight the entire book and then hit justify. Also - if you want all your Heading to be centered, right click Heading at the top and chose "center". Then every time you click something as a Heading, it will automatically center it. Works the same for body paragraphs and justified. Right click the Normal style at the top and set it to justify.

    The reason it picked up Title of the book is because you used a page break instead of a section break after the table of contents page. You can also not use H1 for the title to solve this issue. Good video.

    Love this video a lot as it will help me out big time with my eBook.
    A couple of quick questions are:
    1. Can I put a small hyperlink on in the footer to return back to the Chapter page?
    2. Can I keep the same 6x9 formatting as in my paper and hardcover books?
    Thanks again for all your help

    Just wanna know though, I have that ONE DAMN PAGE that when I page break, has an entire blank page before the next chapter and it's so annoying! When I upload this to KDP, will they remove the page for me? Or when people read my book will they just have to deal with it?
    Thanks heaps!!

    Great video! I am just curious since I look at competition it will say they have for example 324 pages. When I check out their books on Kindle there is like 160 words on 2 pages. So does Amazon format it that way? I am designing and building my pages like you show and a full book will have like 20 - 50 pages. I feel like when I publish Amazon would make the pages shorter and the books would be the same length as others who are publishing since their pages are so small if that makes sense? Any helpful insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

I created my book using Word, with the hyphenation option turned on ( so it appears like most other books), but in the KDP print book preview, there are no hyphens, then the formatting is off, the chapters are a little longer and the Table of Contents is no longer accurate. thanks
