For those who are printing off the Red Roadster book.

There is a copyright on the book.

All of which boils down to, you can make one copy for your own use.
Fair enough, right?

What you may want to do if you're printing off the book is to assign page numbers.
If you don't and you drop the pages....

Anyway, for Word Perfect which is what the book is written in - Word works ok as well and the steps are similar - here's the drill.

Import the document into your word processing program. (Import just means to do the copy and paste bit.)
Change to your preferred font size and style by:
Select All (Ctrl and A keys depressed simultaneously.)
Select font style.
Select font size.
Click the cursor in a blank area to drop the highlight off the pages.
Select Save. (Save toggle or Ctrl and S keys depressed all same time.)
This will set up an initial save and give you someplace to backtrack to if things go awry.

The book was originally written in 12 point. Font is Times New Roman. Which is what most publishers use.
Save again and you're ready to add page numbers.

Place the cursor on what you want to be page 1.
Go to Format.
Select Page.
Click on numbering.
Choose page numbering format style - IE: -2- or 2 or A or a or whatever style you wish.
Select where on the page you want the page number printed.
Click Set Value.
Click OK.

That will roll the page numbers down the text.
As the succeeding parts come in, select the proper value for the new page, IE: Page 105 or whatever it is.

After that, you may want to go down the pages and any split paragraphs you find, hit the enter - or line space key, same key - and roll the upper lines on the paragraph into the next page. It makes for an easier read.
Break the chapters the same way.

In fact, if you want to get real ambitious you can indent the paragraphs instead of using a line skip to indicate paragraphs.
Line skips for paragraphs is the way formatting for the Internet is required on this site and others I'm familiar with.

As a fwiw, in a regular book, indents of 2-5 spaces indicate a new paragraph - I use 2 spaces.
A paragraph is a new thought or new speaker.
A skipped line is a new location or another story within the main framework of the story.

Or ... just print it as is, get a cold one and read....

 

I forgot to add:
A lot of ways to store the book in printed form and printed is a much better way to read it cuz the computer screen will blind you after a while.

What's been working well for me are the white vinyl binders with clear outside cover.
The cover allows you to make up a title for both the front and the spine.

Get the binder that measures 2" on the inside.
Make sure it's the D ring (extra capacity) binder as well.
The D ring goes a long way toward making page turning easy no matter where you are in the book.

Fwiw - here's a pic of my computer/research/writing area.
Built into a closet in the family room with computer desk and added book shelves along with added shelves to the computer desk hutch proper.
You can see how well the white binders work out.
All of the binders shown are books and short stories with about seven books completed and five to go. For now anyway....

 

Red Roadster Book????
Oh, Ok, I found it.
Love the Mickey Mouse phone.

Yep ... book ... serialized as a Friday night read.
Last Friday was the first installment.

Does this mean i have to close the book store now ?
One printing is all i need fer my eyeballz .Thanks again .

 

Wish i would have waited for the instructions. I didnt know you had to format this thing ended up chopping off three to four words at the end of every line toward the edge of the page..guess i'll go buy some more ink and try again
