Working with a manuscript that large can be quite a puzzle, especially when the goal is a clean Lulu print‑ready file. I have formatted several books in Microsoft Word for self‑publishing, handling both dense text and image placement while keeping the layout crisp for print. Definitely something I can help with. You can have a look at my recent print and publishing design work for similar projects. I’ll keep you updated at each stage so the final document matches your expectations. Do you have a specific trim size in mind, perhaps A5, and any margin guidelines from Lulu? Also, what resolution are the images you’d like to include?
