Why doesn't my KDP preview match my Word preview?
The book in question is 5.25" x 8" (13.34 cm x 20.32 cm). I formatted the page size, margins, header, and footer of the manuscript on Word so that they would fit these dimensions (i.e. I set the margins to 1.2 cm and the header to 0.5 cm) and then I uploaded the updated file to KDP. However, the preview looks different, with the text much more centered than it should be, as if it were A5 format.
Before uploading the file I made sure to check the Print Preview in Word and everything looked correct there: the header was much higher up, closer to the edge of the page, as were the page numbers, and the text was more indented. But on KDP, it looks like this!
Could you please give me some advice? 😭 All these calculations are driving me crazy and I'm wasting so much time! 😭
