Book is done; new speed bump [View all]
The book is done, many edits after readings by me and helpful friends. I'm happy with it. I am on the fence about publishing, but that's moot for right now. When I started it, as a hobby, I just started writing. I put in page numbers and chapter numbers and so on. No title page, no dedication page. I would like to add those. It is in .docx format. I have 3 different word processing programs. I cannot seem to add a title page and dedication page without them being pages 1 and 2. In the old Word, which I used a lot a long time ago, this was simple--insert page numbers, and start here with page 1. Not these. I also need a header on book pages with my name on the left pages, book title on right.
I put a post in Next Door for some local person to help with word processing. By now I am sure that is buried and will not get a response. I discovered "Upwork" online, where you can hire people to do such things for a reasonable cost. Registered, logged in later, and then when they wanted to "verify" me, my login no longer was valid. Huh? Yeah, sorry, buh bye.
So I am stuck unless I can find someone to do this bit of formatting for me. Anyone know of a reliable online place to find an editor for something as simple and basic as this? Or where else to look?
ETA: I have watched many YouTube tutorials for the different programs I have. Clearly the programs have updated and of course changed since the videos were made. I do not get the screens that they do. So I need a different path to get there, and I have no idea how.
ETA: It's not the program. I'm sure it is doable in all of these. But apparently not by me. I need to find someone who can do this. Perfectly happy to pay a freelancer, but Upwork is the only online place I can find such a person, and that did not work out.
