I uploaded the file. waited 5 minutes or so and then launched the preview button, to see what was wrong, then I went back to my file, changed my file and then uploaded it.
I did this over and over again. I think I have my margins right. I am going to send for a proof copy to see what it looks like in print. I know it is not perfect, but I need to see the book in print so I will know what I need to fix.

So I am not giving up and neither should you.
Keep writing.
