What's It Mean?

Coated Paper: Paper is traditionally coated on two sides and is broadly used for all types of printing, included multicolor work.  Lately, paper coated only on one side has become available and widely used as an economical measure.

Coil Bound: Soft type binding. Like comb binding method except a coil or spiral secures the book instead of a comb.

* refers to a term not actively used at Gregath Publishing

Sometimes overlooked, good font choices can add almost as much to a book project as clipart. There are font/typeface books and CD combos you can purchase that have unrestricted work. Old books, periodicals and catalogs may be either public domain or under expired Copyright as well that are resources for drop caps and initials. Sources of downloadable (copyright free or with permission) fonts abound.

Computer aid!?!

Not sure if files written in MS Office 2007 are compatible? The truth is that they are with a bit of work on your part. If you are running an older version of a program and try to open the 2007 file, it will prompt you do download a conversion program. If you are online, follow all directions - including downloading other updates first. Your computer can then convert the 2007 file to something your computer can work with. Word of warning though, if the file contains features that became available in 2007, your converted file won't have them.
