How to Get Page Numbers to Start in Chapter One for CreateSpace
Getting the page numbers and book title in the headers starting on the correct page for CreateSpace can have you pulling your hair out in bunches sometimes. You can download an already formatted template from CreateSpace and copy and paste your manuscript into that rather than going for the bald look, or you can make a nice clean template of your own.
Trying to reformat a couple of hundred pages of an already otherwise formatted Word document sometimes causes strange things to happen, so after many trial and errors along the way, I finally figured out that the easiest thing to do was to type my manuscripts without any formatting at all, and then copy and paste them into my own template before working on paragraphs, margins, and styles for CreateSpace. It’s wonderfully simple to do.

Wow, just more things to learn Jo. Formatting is where I drew the line when I began self publishing. I hire that out, I don’t have the head capacity to learn that too, lol. But I do remember back when I published my first book, my book designer told me to never put page numbers on my Word document. That much I know, lol. 🙂
