Hi, Mary,
It's actually a 5.5x8.5 novel, the spine has to many variables as it is in
the editing stage and of course it will depend on font type and size, etc. I
think between 1 to 1.5" But I wanted to be ready to move to the next step. I
wanted to know how to lay out and actually print out a cover and a jacket.
I'm playing with the booket and have printed out 4 pages. Not sure how to add
pages. But went over to brochures to see if I could lay out the cover. Made
the size 8.5x14 to give plenty of room for spine, divided into 3 parts and it
looks like the way to go. Don't know why they don't add a book layout:) I
didn't know how to add a spine to the booklet layout. When I look up spine
all I get are what looks like labels?  I'm sure if I played with it long
enough I could figure it out. Open to suggestions.
Thank you for the help,
Marty
