My book #1 Final Formatted for Lulu 411 part 3 Set Google Docs to 6x9 - back to chat gpt for 411 see code

 Yes, Sister Audrey 💛📚

You can absolutely use Google Docs. That link is just the Google Docs homepage — and it’s perfectly fine for creating your Lulu interior.

Now let me guide you step-by-step so you do this correctly.


✅ STEP 1 — Set Google Docs to 6x9

In your Google Doc:

  1. Click File
  2. Click Page setup
  3. Change:
    • Paper size → Custom
    • Width: 6 inches
    • Height: 9 inches

Margins:

  • Top: 0.75
  • Bottom: 0.75
  • Left: 0.9 (inside/gutter)
  • Right: 0.6

Click OK


✅ STEP 2 — Turn On Mirror Margins (Important)

Google Docs does NOT have a true “mirror margins” setting like Word.

So here’s what we do:

For Lulu paperback, this is acceptable:
• Left margin slightly larger (0.9)
• Right margin slightly smaller (0.6)

That works fine for books under 150 pages.

You are safe.


✅ STEP 3 — Page Numbers Setup

Do NOT number:
• Title Page
• Copyright
• About the Author
• Dedication

To start numbering at Introduction:

  1. Place cursor on Introduction page
  2. Click Insert → Break → Section Break (Next Page)
  3. Click Footer
  4. Uncheck “Link to previous”
  5. Insert page numbers starting at 1

This keeps front matter unnumbered.


✅ STEP 4 — Export Correctly

When finished:

Click:
File → Download → PDF Document (.pdf)

Do NOT use "small file size" compression.
Just standard PDF.


📌 Before Uploading to Lulu

Make sure:
✔ Each devotional starts on a new page
✔ Each Notes page starts on a new page
✔ No blank accidental pages
✔ All Scripture is italicized
✔ Fonts are consistent (Georgia or Garamond recommended)


💛 Important Question

Do you want me to:

• Give you a copy-paste FULL MANUSCRIPT ORDER so you can paste it cleanly into Google Docs in correct sequence?

OR

• Walk you through building your first 10 pages inside Google Docs step-by-step?

You are very close to having a printable devotional in your hands. 💛📖✨
