Hello,
I reckon I'll finish the 3rd draft of my novel this week (yay!) and need to organise it ready for submission. I haven't numbered pages or done footers and headers etc. I'm not brilliant on all the functions of Word and wondered if anyone could please help me?
It's currently saved in separate chapters. Can I number each page all at once even though each chapter is a different document? Or do I have to put it all together to do this? The least onerous method is obviously what I'm looking for here...
Cheers!
Hee hee. Yes I do have Word, thanks.
Thank you so much for that.
I regard a draft and an edit as the same thing but maybe you'll tell me different! I have been thorough. I call it editing, drafting or revising depending on my mood - semantics or not? Would you say there are clear differences? If you tell me then I can see which ones I have actually done ;) ! Cheers.
3rd draft or 3rd thorough edit? I have done many thorough edits of my manuscript and still have a few more and some re-writing to do.
You need to place all your chapters in one Word document. Open the Word document and click INSERT, it's the third word in from the top left hand corner. The Sixteenth icon from left to right is PAGE NUMBER. Click that. You now have a number of options of where to put your page numbers. Click the one you want. Click the red box with the white cross, CLOSE HEADER AND FOOTER, and you are done.
I hope you have Word.
Good luck.
