I admit freely that when it comes to tutorials, book learning and sitting and listening to someone explain something, I go blank. I learn so much better, hands on, in most all things.. but as I'm writing ONE book just for myself, I wish there was a demo version of this program so I could try it out :( I tried Bookwright but it's a freaking PITA! Still, at some point I wont have any thing left to do BUT format... so I might be back to see all the videos and try to not go deaf-blind :D

Can you format the book to include sections and then within each section have chapters

[yanniclaub]

I dont find any of the mentioned videos, not in the description nor on your channel...

I cannot figure out the social profiles. Help! I've tried to follow the written instructions, but they don't make sense to me. Can you point me to anywhere else this is explained? Thanks.

This is beautiful, but it also supports other languages??

The Contents doesn't include my front matter (dedication, epigraph)..? Also it starts page numbering from the title page. How do I correct it?

Hello, I have a question: instead of import a Word document with the text already done, is possible to create a book from zero, writing the text step by step?

Is it possible to structure the outline with only the title of all chapters first, and then write them step by step?

Your customer support link isn't working. There's a glitch in the software that needs fixing.

My manuscript is finished with headers/page numbers etc. Do I upload it as a whole or each chapter separately into Atticus? It looks fabulous and I'm wanting to try it.

It seems that Atticus doesn’t import tables from a word doc. Is there a way around this?

[TheHourofWitchery]

The Table of Contents, does it have to look basic or can I design my own? I am designing and publishing a book but I want to keep the design and formatting it currently is, however, this includes the Table of Contents, it has its own style of text and centered page, etc. Can this be changed? I still want a Table of Contents, I just want to be certain I can redesign the look of it. Thanks <3

Do I need to change my tabs in word to indents?? I don't think I was supposed to be hitting the Tab button when writing it, but I did. Not sure if that formatting has to be changed for Atticus and I can't find info anywhere about it. Thanks.

Is there anything specific I need to know about an AI generated graphic that I would like to incorporate into an epub book from Atticus?

[bugwar]

So how do you get scene breaks '***' to center on the page in Atticus?

[drpat]

I need to go to the back cover of the book. How do I access that from Atticus?

[cadburyyork]

Is there a way to make the TOC just say Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.? Right now it says
1. Chapter 1
2. Chapter 2
etc.
I don't have subtitles.

First time hearing about the scenes so is this basically when you have a long chapter but want to separate

[carolynfrank]

In the back matter of an e-book, does Atticus allow me to add an Amazon link to an upcoming book, or allow readers to leave a starred review on Amazon? If seen that done in e-books I've read. I'm trying to figure out what program allows me to do that to my own books.

Can you load it in two computers to collaborate for the same book?
