When you create an eBook it is important to follow the rules of the
English language for punctuation, spelling and grammar in order that
your information makes sense.
With modern technology and the word processing programmes currently available today and normally included on your laptop or PC when purchased, it is easy to create your own written pieces.
Thinking of your eBook content and writing it down is not the hard part, it is normally the use of the computer to get it in the right format that causes confusion.
Unless you have a computing job role, have taken a computer course or have a computer expert in the house, it can often get very confusing and frustrating to make your eBook look like it should or like a conventional written hardback or paperback book.
When a word processing programme is opened up it displays a completely blank page, not even a space exists which is often hard to comprehend when all you see is white space.
The next step is to learn the keyboard, what each button does especially if they just have a symbol on it, not a letter or number and also how to use the mouse.
Practice is the best way to learn but you still need some guidance on what you are actually doing.
The mouse has two buttons on it and when you move the mouse, it goes the same way and direction as the pointer on the screen.
The buttons on the mouse have different uses. Normally the left button when clicked selects or opens up programmes and pages (if you are on the internet). The left button normally opens up a menu on the screen to tell the computer to do something with the word, page or selection underneath the mouse pointer when you click.
To highlight something means to hold the mouse pointer over the beginning of a word or image, click down on the left button, hold the button down and then move the mouse pointer along a set of words or sentence, or even a full page, until is surrounded by a box of contrasting colour. When you have moved to the end of whatever word or image you have chosen, you can then tell the computer to do something with that selection. For example, you might want to underline a letter, word or sentence. At this point you would click on the underline button. Other options include bold, italic as well as changing the size, colour, letter type and so on.
