I have written several short paperback length fiction stories and would like
to be able to lay them out in Microsoft Word. I am looking for a template
that has the basic settings already included, rather than having to reinvent
the wheel. Does anyone have a template for this sort of layout? My main goal
is to either self publish or at least be able to see how the books would look
in this sort of layout and their potential page number.

Thank You,

Trade paper or mass market?

Mass Market, though trade paper would be marginally helpful if that is all
that is easily available.

I've created a lot of 7" x 9" trade paperback books and have a sort of
template for them (though each one is individualized). I rather doubt it
would really do you much good, though, as so much of using it depends on
knowing everything I know about formatting in Word.

Thank you then. I certainly have a lot of experience with creating templates,
but hoped someone would already have done the work and had one ready. I will
post my template when it is finished, so the work won't have to be completely
redone again.

Thanks again for your time.
