Re: Assign revenue to daughter
Can you not just change it to only her? Take a look at your My Projects >> revise, then scroll down to the Revenue options, and I think this is the default overall settings advice >>> http://connect.lulu.com/en/discussion/124369/enter-or-edit-author-payment-information#latest
Re: Can I print Lulu-published book locally?
Hi Henry,
1) When you publish with Lulu, you own the content. So you're completely free to use our service for some printing and later use another printer to make additional copies.
2) The option to include Lulu or the Lulu logo is entirely up to you. There's no requirement or obligation to include it anywhere in the book.
3) Zero exclusivity. We've got no problem with simultaneous publishing, though you would want to be sure other publishers are likewise open to using multiple platforms.

Re: Hiya got question about publishing book and buying a proof copy.
Hi. Yes, you must purchase a proof copy of the printed book but at a discount. It's usually around £5 or equivalent. The proof copy is necessary for you to check the finished article. I normally publish the print book followed by the ebook. That is your decision.

Re: Headings Clarification
The convertor has rejected every ODT I have tried ever since this problem began (and they always worked just fine before).Paul_Lulu said:As an aside, our converter will accept ODT files from Open Office and we haven't had any reports of those files running into unexplained errors. You might try just running the ODT file through.
Re: Headings Clarification
The first is just the title page not appearing in the TOC. I'm actually not sure why that would happen. The first H1 listing should pin to the title page.
The second is a file in the Calibre file list 'Bookmarks' that Calibre creates as a sort of auto-save. It just needs to be deleted.

Re: Headings Clarification
There is a table of contents icon at the top which opens a window for editing the TOC. There you will find buttons that will let you generate the table of contents from 'major headings' or 'all headings' and some other choices that we probably don't care about.
Re: Headings Clarification
'Lucky' you that your file actually converted!
Anyway. Don't confuse headings with Heading Styles. They are to be found in the Style Ribbon at the top of Word. Headings are just words at the top of pages, but Heading Styles are just that, styles that can be added to them, and here some Heading Styles are used to tag what you want in a TOC.
Apply HS 1 to anything you want in the TOC (there has to be at least two things in the TOC to get through the Wizard, I usually just Have Title, Copyright, and Title again for the start of the story (most e-readers have Book marks that can be applied, so I am not sure why a TOC is even needed!)
HS 2 is usually used after HS 1 for a sub TOC within HS 1. HS 3 is usually used after HS 2 for a sub-sub TOC.
Then HS 1 has to be used again next.
I only use HS1
If you have already done that and they do not function then the ePub Wizard is still broken.
PS: You are meaning an ePub and not a PDF e-book?

Re: Interior colour
marquesa said:I'd still prefer to try one of the more compact versions rather than US trade this time. I admit I don't sell a lot of print books, but when Lulu offer free shipping, as they do from time to time, I alert friends to this. Would I be right in thinking that even if the pocket and A5 sizes are only printed in the US that any free shipping offer is still on? And yes I am in the UK (my spelling of 'colour' is a dead giveaway!)
Free shipping is free shipping. Any restriction would appear before you completed checkout.
I'm also seeing all A5 and pocket formats available through the UK printer, so that shouldn't be a concern.
The white paper is pretty starkly white. Not that 'faded' white of a trade paperback. I personally don't love our white paper for fiction, but I've never had a hard time reading text on it.marquesa said:I'm concerned that if I use one of the other format sizes that the interior will look a little stark if printed on flat white paper. Is it plain white such as inkjet paper looks or is it an off-white like most paperbacks? Has anyone else here used these other two formats for a fiction book and been happy with the interior appearance? Thanks in advance.
Re: Interior colour
I really like the pure white paper. It makes most mass-printed books look old and second-hand! I assume it's pure white because it seems to be literarily sheets of printer paper, just as you would buy for home use (but bigger) rather than huge rolls. That could be one reason POD is expensive.
