Flying Space Available on Military Aircraft

About this ebook
Formatting for use in the devices that are constantly coming on the market can be a chore. Here, we try a few exercises in formatting a prelaunch( Update revised version now available for D/L) of a book on how retired military can fly as space available passengers (almost free) to many places on the globe by just using their retired ID card and passport and signing a few forms with the different commands that fly cargo and personnel all over the world. This is a first (beta) edition of a series on how to sign up, prepare and enjoy flying with the military.This part in the series is free and may be copied and sent to others interested in the subject.References to military bases that are major hubs are constantly changing so this book will continue to be revised. We have included base contact numbers, where to get flight schedules and the normal procedure for "taking a hop" with the big ones- A C-5, or a C17.This is one you will want to take with you to use on your Ereader when there is not internet available and you need that phone number of the Lodging office. We donate a per cent of all our books published on Smashwords to the Wounded Warrior Project. Thanks for your help.

Having experienced most likely every single mistake in formatting that will keep your masterpiece off of the published items list, we decided to make a test run on this book. It is a bit different than the seven others that we have published on Smashwords quite successfully as it contains table and images as well as hyperlinks and bookmarks. We never try anything small. We figured that if this one passes the meatgrinder and epubcheck and the editors and it goes online and we can proof it in our ColorNook, we'll have a running start at showing other writers how we did this. O yes, we'll make this a free copy so we can get as much distribution of the name out there as possible. We'll also place some of the research information in it that will satisfy most of the readers that want to know more about space available flying on military aircraft.
Let's talk about images first because there is really a bunch of images in this novel about flying space available on military aircraft. We'll explain what all that jargon is a bit later in the book. First, let's see what kind of problems inserting an image in the body of the book holds for us.
Here is a good place to explain what we are using as a reference. What else? The Smashwords style guide. This guide in the past has been a great guide in getting the proper formatting set right on most of my past novels. The single most often occurring problem with the guide is, it does not make any references to MSword 2010 which is what we use to write. MSword 2010 is unlike ( IMHO) any other version of Word. It has a ton of hidden codes in it and it will absolutely scream and bite when you try to override them. Microsoft may, in their wisdom when they finally observe how many authors are writing Ebooks these days, come out with an industry accepted Ebook program. There definitely is a market for such.
Back to the images.
The guide says that you can insert .JEPG or .PNG images and .PNG works best.
Ok, we'll work with that. Before we insert the photo we have in mind, remember that the source .doc file that you upload must be less than 5 megabytes in size so it is a good idea to stop every once and awhile and see how close to that number you are approaching with your conglomeration of tables, images and masterful wording. If you are getting close to that number consider COMPRESS feature. This will really reduce the file size and usually will not harm the quality. Right mouse click on the image. Click format picture and then click the Compress button. Next, click the All pictures in document radio button, then click Web/Screen, which selects 96dpi compression and finally clock OK
Remember, no floating
images--they will not come out in the place you wanted to show them. To check if your image is a floater, click on it and drag it. If it moves, it is a floater lock it down by right clicking on the image body, then click format picture and then Layout and click IN LINE with text and save.
Using the above, here is what we get in order to show the inside of a C-17 transport aircraft. We are going to keep this image kind of small but large enough to see the content because we are going to use a good number of images in the sequel to this test novel.
Figure 1 The cargo deck of C-17. Seats on left.
Ok we just added a touch here that may be helpful. Notice the figure 1
? We added that by clicking on the insert caption feature on the pop up. The words Figure 1 were already there and we added the Cargo deck,
As you may know, Smashwords forbids the use of text boxes and nothing will get your manuscript bounced any faster than inserting one but THIS may not offend the meatgrinder. We shall see. (update-it works!)
Still on the subject of images, the above photo of the cargo deck is a JEPG. Just for the sake of testing, we will insert another image here. This time we will use the same size but in a .PNG format.
