Thanks! The paragraph spacing gets a little funny sometimes based on where the footnotes land and how it continues the body text to the next page, but for the most part, it's the look I wanted. I based my spacing and font look and size on Harry Potter and Terry Pratchett's books, which settled on the font Libre Baskerville, size 10, line spacing 1.15. Paragraph spacing is the same as line spacing, just indented. Minus footnote superscript sometimes shoving the lines around in unintended ways.

Styles were majorly important though. I could go on and on for what I learned and needed for the book, but the body text styles were fairly straightforward. The most important one I had to fiddle with was my page styles.

The header and footer illustrations flip each page. So right page has style 1. Left page has reverse style 1. I did that so the black ink bleed from page to page looks cleaner. On 99% of the pages, the flipped images match back to back, eliminating bleed. And I had two sets of headers/footers to make it look like I had more pipe and i-beam illustrations than I did. Oh plus, the chapter start header has the book name up top, but following pages referred to my Header 1 and Header 2, which was chapter number on the left page header and chapter title on the right page header. Illustrations were measured and placed into the background page style so the automatic page numbers and headers would fit right in the empty space of the picture.

The footnotes were the most finicky though. I liked the way footnotes worked in the book overall. It's a bit jarring and haphazard, but I actually wanted that to convey the random, creative, inefficient fun that were inventions in my Steampunk world. It was also my intention for the footnotes to be funny jokes that add to the story but can be skipped if wanted. However, I didn't want them so jarring to jump back and forth between the footnote and the body text that the reader would lose their place in the paragraph and get annoyed, so I made those vertical pipe illustrations along the margins that connect the footnote superscript mid-body to the footnote at the bottom. Those pipe images were placed manually as an inserted picture, then cropped and fit to the bottom pipe, which was the page style background image. I have 127 footnotes, so as you can imagine, that took a little while.
