Typesetting the Interior File

1. Select a base file from the options and open it in Microsoft Word.
2. You may edit it for paper size, margin size, and font size.
   
   1. For paper size – go to the Page Layout tab, select size, and select custom size. Type in the size you want. For Snowfall press books, you can have any size you want. For ingramspark press books, you will need to select the trim sizes from here: https://goo.gl/S3sdDg
   2. For margin size – go to the Page Layout tab, select margins, and select custom margins. Type in the margins you want.
      • Note: do not change gutter margins and it is recommended to never lessen the margins below .5”.
      • Note: if you want to have this rebound at Leonard, add .25” to the inner margin
      • Note: if you want a wide margin, you will have to fiddle around with page size and margins to get the right amount. See base file for wide margin for an example.
   3. For font size (or even font itself):
      • Change Greek font by doing search and replace. Search all SBL Greek font and change the size of it.
      • Change Hebrew font by going to the Home tab and right clicking on several styles. You will need to change BHebrew style (complex font and font size), HebBody style (complex font and font size), and Hebrew Title style (complex font and font size).
   4. Please be patient as Word repaginates this very large document. Just wait and it should work (even if it appears to be frozen).
3. Some things to check before saving a file.
   
   1. Are there an even number of pages?
   2. Does the Greek Bible begin on an odd number page (as well as Matthew 1?
   3. Does the Hebrew Bible begin on an even number page (as well as Genesis 1)?
   4. Are there two blank pages at the end of the file and between last page of Revelation and Chronicles?
   5. Are the beginning of books where you want them to be? .
4. Save the Word file as an XPS file.
   
   1. Go to File | Print.
   2. Select Microsoft XPS printer
   3. Under page selection, select “custom print.”
   4. Enter the page numbers as follows:
      • 1-[last page of the Greek Bible, should be odd number], [last page of document, must be even number]-[first page of Hebrew Bible, must also be even number]
        • Example: 1-307, 1264-308
      • This ensures that that the Hebrew Bible prints right to left and does so correctly (with the correct pages on the correct sides of the book).
   5. Click print. It will take a while for the book to process. Then Word will ask you to save the file. Type in an appropriate file name and click save. Then Word will digitally print the document to that file and again this will take some more time.
5. Once you have the file you can go on to the next steps
