fix page numbers, headers, sections in my book
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Formatting page numbers, headers, sections in a book with chapters.
I have a 600+ page document. A novel. It has 43 chapters divided into five "parts."
I need to have alternating headers. The one on the left-hand pages (even numbered) should be my name. The one on the right-hand pages (odd numbered) needs to be the title of the book. I could do all that, but here's where it gets complicated.
There are pages of "front matter" before the first numbered page, which will be the title page, which is actually on the 9th physical page of the book. Then it has to skip to the next rhp, and that's page 3, the beginning of the first chapter. HOWEVER, no page number or header can appear on first 3 pages; no headers or footers or page numbers on any chapter starting page, or on Part One, Part Two, etc. The numbers and headers on those pages need to be suppressed. The first page on which the headers and page numbers appear is page 4.
Also, every first page of every chapter must be the next right hand page. Ditto for the Part pages.
(If you look at virtually any fiction book with chapters published in the United States in the last 100 years, you'll see that it is set up like this, or some slight variation of this.)
