I have a book manuscript that was created in Microsoft Word as part of a monthly subscription to Microsoft Office.
I have been working on it for quite a while, it is a historical city directory, just short of 400 actual pages, 7" x 10" finished size. Word count is 275,762.
I was able to complete the book and save it as a PDF to download to amazon. After getting the proof copies I found additional errors and need to correct them. When I try to access the document, however, it says there are too many pages and defaults to 123 or 17 pages.
I was able to retrieve a copy (unformatted) and moved it to Google docs for saving. I also paid for a program to take it from PDF back to word and have that on google docs but it has severe formatting issues.
Never expecting this from word, I have newspaper stories coming out about my book and had to set it live errors (which is why I am Sad Panda
)
I did not see that I was in compatibility mode and it is saved in docx format.
Please help!
Thank you in advance.
