I am sure they'd be much appreciated.<br />Totally agree with the point about'elbow grease' - no matter how easy it looks, check, double check, walk away, come back and check again.

As some further notes about creating my book, I showed a proof copy of my book (a test copy) to a professional editor and asked her to grade it (A, B, C, D, or F) just as a quick look and she gave me a "B+" on it. She asked if I had done it in Adobe's InDesign, when I told her it was done in Pages she did not believe me until I brought up the file on my laptop. She was stunned.<br /><br />The second thing from a technical issue was I uploaded my PDF file to Createspace.com and their email came back "you need to flatten" your images. Well, I had few images, but I did have "objects" such as multiple objects to create a graphic. I ended up "Grouping" all of the objects into one object and that solved the issue.<br /><br />The third note, if anyone wants to write a book using Pages, it can be done as I have proved it can be done. But one this is for certain if you choose to go this route: Make sure you take the time to put out a good book. Many people in a rush to see their name in print put out a lousy product. While it does not have to be "perfect," ensure you DO take the time to learn what it takes to make it good enough to fool the average person but take the professional a few minutes to catch your "C" or "D" level work.<br /><br />Lastly, Pages compared with the learning curve of Adobe's InDesign or Quark is really simple, but it still takes some effort to produce a good looking book.<br /><br />Thanks for posting and here's to bypassing the "Big Publishers" to get your book out there.<br /><br />KevinKevin Cullishttp://www.macstartup.comnoreply@blogger.com
