T
his is the body text that should be used (Garamond 12). The first
letter of the chapter has a Drop Cap (the function is found in the
Insert menu). The line spacing is 1.15 which makes it easier to read.
The space between the paragraphs is set to be 12 pt after the paragraph.
The alignment is justified, which means that the text is aligned to both left
and right side. If there are long words this might give too much space
between the words. Hyphenate long words in order to correct this. Insert
page breaks where you want them in order to fully control the layout of the
book.

The margins are: mirrored. Top margin: 2.54 cm, Bottom margin: 2.54 cm,
Inside: 3.18 cm, Outside: 2.54 cm.

It is important to use the correct format for the headings since the table of
content is generated from the headings.

Make sure that your first chapter starts on an odd page. This template is
made for having different format on odd and even pages.

The bullet list should look like this (style List Bullet):

 First item

 Second item

 Third item

larger pictures like below. Position the textbox in line with text for them
instead of wrapping the text around the textbox. The textbox makes it easy
to move the picture together with the caption.

marks you will see the section breaks as two dotted lines and the text either
Section Break Continuous or Section Break next page. On the first chapter
