Formatting Complete, I think?

After nearly tweleve hours I'm done, I think. It was supposed to take two hours.  I know I'm not part of the Geek Squad, but come on.  Twelve hours, and to be honest I'm still not sure it is completely correct. Next time I decide to go insane and format a paper myself I'm going to keep a stronger beverage the Dr. Pepper close at hand.

Formatting

I thought picking out cover art and lettering was difficult and time consuming.  Whoever came up with the formatting for e-publishing must have taken lessons from the Marqui de Sade. I spent most of the night going over it and I'm still not finished.

I have used Word since it came into existence.  I thought I knew all of its in and outs.  I am now becoming intimately familiar with the program.  Smashwords (where I plan to publish) has a very informative guide. My only issues is that as I move forward I find that I did something small incorrectly.  It can be very frustrating having to go back because I used 16 font for my chapter headings instead of 14.  Oh well, It will be worth it in the end, at least that's what I keep telling myself.
