03 Format is as
Important as
Grammar
When creating your remarkable work, you spent endless hours writing and rewriting, ensuring
your spelling was correct, your subjects and verbs agreed, and that your work had a consistent
voice. Now, you should spend a little time making sure it is consistently formatted.
In general, word processing programs provide two methods for formatting text
and paragraphs:
Direct (or Inline) Formatting:
Creating a chapter title by manually changing the font type and size of the first line in a
paragraph that otherwise uses the Normal style is an example of Direct Formatting. While
the Lulu EPUB Converter maintains this type of formatting, it cannot identify it as a new
chapter. Other examples of direct formatting include creating indents using tabs or the space
bar, or inserting additional spaces between paragraphs using the Enter key. Our converter will
automatically strip direct formatting of extra spaces (manual indents and manually entered
paragraph spacing) from your document during conversion.
