here is a page in our book.



we use these graphics to make pages in our book, it has a big white space in the centre, and a grid with numbers and writing.

Books have writing in them, we will need writing in our book too.
Lets put a text field in, we will want the text field to be an exact size so that the person hiring you for the job can put the writing in later.

Lets see how big the text field will be.



Just make our text field the same size as that red square, good, now the person hiring you will be able to put his text into the text field himself, he can do that himself as that is an easy job for him to do, it saves time if he puts it in himself. Text is ariel size is 11. Add one letter, so I can copy and paste in and it will be set at ariel size is 11, then Ill just delete the single letter you put in after I copy and paste my type in.

So far we have made a page in our book, we have added a background image that shows buttons, then we added a text field.

Now, we will want to know what chapter in the book we are on, lets add a graphic image to the page, the image will show what chapter we are on.

Lets use this image.



Lets put this into our page in the space provided for it.



We have added a graphic, this shows what chapter we are on, the graphic has its own unique colour, each chapter has its own unique colour, and it has writing on it, what does the writing mean, I don't understand what it says, that's because it is shorter than the full word, we cannot fit the full word on the small graphic, so its abbreviated. The one in the image is abbreviated for creepy. Its just the first 4 letters of the word creepy.

Lets give the page a name, as this is the creepy chapter and it is page 1, we will call the page, creepy1.

Now then, you will have noticed those numbers down the side of the page, these are page numbers. Lets put a button over them, we don't need any button graphic or type as we can see the graphic as its in the actual page background art. Lets put buttons over all squares in the background art.

Now lets link these to a page, remember this is a book, and books have pages,

We are on page 1 of the chapter called creepy. Lets link the button that is covering box 1, as we are on page 1, pressing page one will link to the page we are making now, so go make that button link to the page called creepy1. The button that is covering the number 2 box, link that to a page called creepy2. Do the same for all of the page links, we have 10 in the image, its easy to follow, box 3, links to creepy 3, box 4, links to page creepy4 and so on.

Lets add some more links. see the chapter name box, we link that to creepy one. The home button, that links to the menu, the next and previous, we can leave that for now.

The creepy chapter has more than one page, it has 10, so lets copy this page 9 times, and give each copied page a the name that corresponds to its page, so in this case its creepy1, creepy2, creepy3, and so on to page number 10. That's the pages re named.

Lets go back to the next and previous buttons, we need to link these, so if we are on creepy1, the next button will take us to page 2, if we was on creepy2, the next button would take us to the next page, which is creepy3, the same goes with the previous button, if we are on creepy3, touching previous will take us to creepy2, and so on, if we were at creepy1, touching previous will take us to the chapter before it in the list which would be cool one if you look at our list of chapters. Once we have added these links we have our first chapter.

we then move onto the next chapter and repeat the process.
