eBook Manuscript Formatting Guide
This step-by-step guide shows you how to turn a manuscript written in Microsoft Word into a file ready to be uploaded to KDP. The information we give is specific to the 2016 version of Word, but the steps are similar in most versions. Depending on your eBook, some steps may be unnecessary (e.g., if your book doesn't have images).
After you format your manuscript in Word, add finishing touches with Kindle Create. In a few clicks, it can help you format your title page, table of contents, and individual paragraphs and change you book's look and feel by applying themes. |
Contents
Set paragraph indentations and line spacingTo ensure your book body text displays consistently, you'll want to indent paragraphs (Tab spacing doesn't convert to Kindle) and set line spacing. To ensure consistency and save time, modify the Normal style. This will automatically apply the formatting.

I have ONE office 2013 installation among a little more than half a dozen that is not getting activated by our KMS.
Funny enough it is on my machine which got reinstalled some time ago - 'last' of all, after we redid the KMS (moving it to Server 2012)-
I started getting a nagging activation wizard yesterday, claiming I have 4 days left to activate and I should ensure I am connected to the coporate network. Well, I am.
It claims error code 0x4004f00c. Which google tells me does not return a reference.
The KMS works - all other machiens have no problem, and my WIndowss itself has also been activated and shows me 254931 minutes left - so it is recent (and yes, an office key is installed).
THere is no event anywhere that explains the errr or shows a warning. The KMS currently has 25 machines, is active and has licensed 345 requests, so it is 'hot'. It safely activates windows server and workstations.
Anyone has a clue how to debug that? TO be clear - this is not 'legal licensing' and not a 'try to bypass licensing'. By all technical means, this KMS should activate office and does so - it is just one machine where this fails for a technical reason and I want this debugged ;) Preferable before loosing my own office insall ;)
We use KMS for technical reasons, btw - KMS and certain other services are isolated on a non-trusted operational domain. So, domain activation is not something we do at the moment.
Update:
I found ospp.vbs and it returns to me:
I try a manual activation and finally get a sensible error:
Is the office limit still 5 activations? We are currently exactly at it (due to retiring laptops for tablet replacements that - well - did not arrive yet).

I would check for : -if there is a connection over to KMS server (1688 TCP ) -if the computer sees the network as a domain . -if you have a logged atempt to activate that 2013 Office .
If that doesn't help I would take a look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee939272.aspx - KMS troubleshooting .
