Further workitems

At this point we will not describe in detail what is still to be done to completely format your book, because the steps are always the same:

• Start all chapters on a new page.
• Format chapter beginnings without indentation.
• Format chapter headlines with headline text styles.
• Accentuate important texts with Body 9 Italic (sparingly!).
• Add single empty lines now and then to mark contextual (!) sections.

Tip: Have you stopped to think about how to format subchapter headlines even faster? Here is a suggestion: Create new text rulers for headlines, assign a text style to the text ruler (namely Chapter 1.1 , Chapter 1.1.1) and add a spacing before and after the paragraph. Perhaps you would like to see two empty lines before a subchapter headline, but only one empty line after it. If so, enter Paragraph spacing before: 22 pt and Paragraph spacing after: 11 pt. Mark the relevant subchapter headline, click on the relevant text ruler – it works fine.
