Format paper for printing
Once the manuscript is done being able to format the paper to match the size for printing/ebook including page size, margins, fonts, etc. would be extremely helpful and eliminate an extra step outside of Dabble. Would make Dabble more of a one stop shop for authors.

Heather Brown MergedI have just joined Dabble and am loving it. I haven't found a spot for page formatting. It would be nice to know where our page was to start and end.

Thomas MergedI'm sure many of us would like to be able to choose the format of our pages. When writing I get very specific about page count and it would be nice to know if I'm writing for a book in 4.25 x 6.87, 5 x 8, 5.25 x 8, 5.5 x 8.5, or 6 x 9.

Thomas MergedWhile writing I like to see the page as it might appear once printed. This helps me plot out chapters and scenes more effectively. I would like the option to set Dabble to a number of popular book sizes, in particular 5.5x8.5 & 6x9.

Note: I had been writing a novel in word for a six by nine printed book but once I ported it over to Dabble it was twice as long with a number of my scenes falling dead center of a page etc. This is a huge problem for plotting writers. -

MarkA useful first step would be to provide the option to select paper size when exporting to Word. I always forget to change the Word doc from letter to A4 until my printer throws a hissy fit.
