not that helpful to me , a technology misfit ..
would like to upload a book i have written in PDF format , or in word doc .but i find it difficult to find a tutorial which shows that basic steps
i believe that PDF is not accepted , so i have tried with word : it worked but the whole formatting is up the creek (where as on word a text would take one page , when uplaoded on ibook author it takes sometimes 2 or 3 pages , disturbing all the sequence , which to me is crucial because each left page isa drawing with a caption , with a corresponding text on the right page , split in 2 halves , in different languages .
If the order is disturbed i end up with the wrong text against the drawing
Does anyone know how to solve my problem and if such tutorial exist ?
thanks in advance

My iBooks Author is NOT working at all. I updated my OS X to Sierra 10.12.4 the other day to run the LogicX update as suggested by a LogicPro help team. Could that be the issue? Your video says Yosemite. I did your video first, then tried a test book, and I click on the landscape template with the planet, 'Contemporary,' as you did, and nothing comes up. There's nothing but white space in the work area. There are no guidelines, title doesn't come up, picture doesn't come up, intro media won't load... text won't type. NOTHING. ? Thanks...

not really helpful to me, a technology misfit
i wish the tutorial showed how to simply upload a book i have written , preferably in PDF format , or as PDF does not appearnto be compatible, in word format .
i did manage to upload the word document , but the result is all other the place: some text straddling over 2 pages when it takes only one page in word ,, thereby disturbing everything else thereafter
do i have to re-write everything ?

To add a glossary entry, highlight a word in your text, right-click, from the drop-down menu choose -Create Glossary Term from Selection-. The word will then be added to your glossary and a new window will appear. Here you may edit the definition. Now the glossary term will appear as a pop-up that includes a dictionary definition on your iPad's iBook when you Preview and when it's published. (The way shown will not create the pop-up)

Mr.
Is there for students to collaboratively create an iBook together? I have a zoology class and I want each student to do a section on a given animal. Is there a way for them to create their individual sections and then somehow share them with me so I can put them all together in one iBook?

You can probably drop in your images and media file via the icon at the top right hand side, at the top, where it says 'media'. The interface is very similar to pages and that is how it would work there.
