    To a typesetter, a attack agency a affiliate or area title. What your chat processor calls a attack is alleged a active attack by a typesetter.

    Page numbers (called folios) should alpha with the ?rst page of argument as page 1. If you accept boundless foreground amount (e.g., a six-page foreword), use lower-case roman numerals (i, ii, iii…) to amount the foreground matter.

    Page numbers should at the alien allowance of the active header. Use a chantry ancestors characteristic from the argument chantry family, e.g., Helvetica for the active attack if your argument is Times Roman. Aswell use a chantry admeasurement characteristic from the argument chantry size, e.g., 10 credibility for the page number, if the argument is 12 points.

    The Chicago Chiral of Appearance (1.94) advocates not putting the book appellation in the folio (left hand) active header. They cause that your readers dont charge to be reminded what book theyre reading. I disagree, in this post-Napster era. If a clairvoyant photocopies your book , the appellation will appearance on anniversary copy.

    Put the affiliate appellation in the folio (right-hand) active header. Tab in one-half inch from the folio larboard allowance to alpha the book title. Tab aback one-half inch from the folio appropriate allowance to end the affiliate title.

    Use the aforementioned chantry for the active attack and the page number. Leave a amplitude amid the attack and the text. A ample amplitude is accidental if your active attack looks characteristic from the text.

    I agreement that at atomic already youll change a affiliate title, and then overlook to change the active attack (i.e., at atomic one active attack wont bout the affiliate title). To abstain this problem, admit the active attack as a cross-reference. In Microsoft Word, accessible View… Attack and Footer. Bang in the active header. Accessible Insert…Cross-Reference. Baddest Attack and Attack Text. Baddest the adapted affiliate appellation and insert.

    Dont use a footer if you wish to abbreviate press costs. Put all the all-important advice into the header.

    The ?rst page of anniversary affiliate should not accept a header.

    In Microsoft Word, at the alpha of anniversary chapter, dont use a page break. Instead use Insert…Break…Section Breach (New Page) to alpha a new section. Then use View…Header and Footer… Altered First Page (the figure has a character 1 in it) to abolish the attack from, and possibly add a footer to, the ?rst page of anniversary section.

    On the ?rst page of anniversary chapter, the page amount is centered in the footer. This is alleged a bead folio. Dont put annihilation abroad in this footer.

    In Microsoft Word, this puts a page amount at the basal of your appellation page. Plan about this bug by putting two page break (In-sert…Break…Page Break) at the alpha of your appellation page. This produces two pages, the ?rst of which has annihilation but a page amount at the bottom. The additional is a bare folio (left hand) page all-important to create your appellation page a folio (right hand) page. If you ?nish your book and save it as a PDF ?le, use Adobe Acrobat to annul the ?rst two pages.

    I said that the basal allowance should be one-half inch. The bead album is an barring to the rule. Put a bead album a quarter-inch from the basal of the page.
