Go to file/bestand, save as a template/opslaan als sjabloon.īefore I can insert any text, I need to go edit/bewerken, styles/stijlen to make sure that my text will appear the way I want to. Now that the template is done, you can save it so that if you write another book you can use the exact same template layout. To do that, go to your text editor / text bewerker and change left-justified to right-justified. Now the page number on the right page needs to be right-justified. So I make a new master page/sjabloon and give it the title First Right Page. The page number is going to be on the right, mirroring the left page. But in stead of using the author’s name I’m going to write the title of the book. Now I’m going to do exactly the same for the right page. Go to character/teken, then select page number.Īdjust the font/size/… to your liking and click the green check mark. After that you open the text editor / tekst bewerker again and you go the insert/invoegen. I prefer mine to be at the bottom of a page. To add page numbers, draw a little text box on the left side of the page where you want the page number to be. You do it the same way as adding any other sort of text.Īdd the text by using the text editor/ tekst bewerker tool.Īdjust the text to your liking and check the green arrow. Okay now I’m going to start with adding the name of the author. So check if left page/linker pagina is selected and give it a title, mine is First Left Page. I’m first going to make a header for the left page. A lot of books have the name of the author, the book/chapter title and the page numbers on every page. The first thing I’m going to create are header pages. To add a new master page/sjabloon, click the top left icon (the text when you hover over it says “add a new master page”). Left pages have a bigger margin at the right whereas right pages have a bigger margin on the left as shown by normal right/normaal rechts. Normal left/normaal links shows you a left page. Go to edit/bewerken, then to master pages/sjablonen. You don’t have to use them, but they can save you a lot of time since they are used to add content to pages which have repeating content like page numbers, chapter names, section heads, …

Master pages are special pages because they aren’t editable from the normal canvas page. I added 10 pages (increase the 1 to 10) but you can add as many pages as you like. To add more pages go to page/pagina and then to insert/invoegen. Now a novel usually has more than five pages. When you scroll down, you can see all the other pages. Okay, after clicking ‘OK’ the real fun starts! Lastly I selected automatic text frames/automatische tekstframes. There needs to be a bigger margin there so that the text won’t be unreadable.
The reason why the inside and outside margins are different is because the binding is at the inside of the page. I changed the inside/binnenkant to 21,844 mm, the outside/buitenkant to 14,112 mm, the top/boven to 19,304 mm and the bottom/onder to 12.700 mm.

The maker of the tutorial I used for this said he got these settings from CreateSpace, a website that provides free tools to help people self-publish. Secondly I added some pages by going to number of pages/aantal pagina’s and increasing the number to 5. I changed the with and height to 152 mm x 229 mm, which is around 6 inches wide and nine inches tall. In stead of using an A4 format I selected the custom/aangepast option. The first thing I adjusted was the size/grootte. If you prefer it to be on the left page, then select left/links. The default setting for the first page is/eerste pagina is is right/rechts because in a book the first page that has text on it is always on the right. Before you click OK there are a few settings that you need to change. Open Scribus and select the double sided/dubbelzijdige option.
