The book I'm doing is 76 pages and allows spine text. It also depends
on the book format. Mine is a 7x7 inch.

Thanks.  That must be it.  Now that you mention it I only have it on the 
hardcover copies of my previous  books.

For paperbacks below a certain number of pages, spine text is not
available. I just made an 80-page paperback, and I think I would have
had to go to the next size up to get spine text.

There may be a similar limit for hardcover and image wrap, but I'm not sure.

I'm working on one, Larry, and the spine text works for me. Just click 
to get the orange hightlight and type. The cursor doesn't go horizontal, 
but it works. Font is rather small by default, that that's easily changed.


Gee, it's so good not to have to re-export files into Booksmart each 
time you want a slightly different render.

Lightroom 4, blurb book question

2012-06-09 Thread Larry Colen
I'm trying to use the Lightroom 4 book module to make a blurb book.

I've pretty much got things sorted out, but can't figure out how add text to 
the spine. I've got Martin Evening's book, and it just says to click on the 
spine and it'll automatically rotate the text, but I can't even get any sort of 
text working on the spine.
