You may wish to, in Vellum, rename “About the Author” to “About Thomas Hardy” or “About Me”. For example, suppose your name is Thomas Hardy. Note: you can later, in Vellum, rename any of these Elements. Vellum understands special sections (called Vellum “Elements”) by their chapter titles in your manuscript.Īs of this writing, if you title a chapter with one of these sets of words, Vellum will create the appropriate Vellum Element: Do use special Chapter Titles to indicate special sections If you want to format some text in a special way in Vellum – such as a Block Quote or Verse – add some easily-searched text marker (such as “FMT Q” or “FMT V”) to remind yourself to add the appropriate formatting in Vellum. Vellum doesn’t recognize other, more complex formatting, in your manuscript. Do add special text to remind you of other formatting you want Vellum understands centering, Boldface, and Italics when these features appear in your manuscript.

If you prefer, Vellum recognizes other sequences of characters as also indicating an Ornamental Break: +++ (three plus signs), # (three number signs). To indicate an Ornamental Break, create a line consisting only of *** (that is, three asterisks), then center that line. Do mark Section Breaks with 3 asterisksīooks often contain an Ornamental Break (a small, flourish icon) to separate sections. I prefer to indicate chapter titles by the 2nd and 4th options, used together: To start a chapter in your word processor, type 3 blank lines (that is, press the Enter key 3 times), type the chapter title, then Center and Bold that title.ĭon’t worry if Vellum doesn’t recognize the start of a chapter: you can either correct that in Vellum, or edit the manuscript (.docx) file and re-import that file into Vellum.
