Formatting for Globalreach
I got a copy of my book of short stories. I think I formatted pretty close to what's required. I got the page numbers and blank page at the end. However, I get these question marks in a box at the end of my stories. It has to be formatting problem, right? I would simply pay but all the services here seem to be for the content of the book and not actually fitting to template for distribution.
Does anyone know why this might happen? Or how I can fix it? Thanks.

Hi Matkinson
Did you upload a PDF for your interior file?
Are your fonts embedded?
All the services prepare your book for distribution.
Upload a screenshot or part of your book. Someone here might have the time to look into your problem.
I used a Word document. I'm not sure about the fonts. It's been awhile since I did it.
Are there any special characters used at the end of the chapters?
Try saving the MS Word file as a PDF. Do you see the same thing on a page you print from your computer as you see in your proof copy?
You want me to put a screenshot in the forum? I'm clueless there. The book is already on site however.
No, not in print from word. I'll try the pdf thing when I get a chance or I'll be right back to forums. Thanks alot guys. It doesn't show up in digital viewing only when I ordered it so, I don't know. It'll probably take a few hours for me to change it. Thanks. And I don't know what service to choose for distribution formatting. They all say some form of editing of grammer and content. Thanks for now.
I've found the best way is too upload pdf. For some reason word doc's get scrambled during conversion. Always embedd the the fonts when saving it so the printing is exactly what was saved. It's best if you can pay a service here to do editting for you but if you can't , then get Ginger software. It's free to use and checks spelling , grammar, and rephrasing. Still go over it personally and let someone else read it too. Just to make sure.
