you arrive at the page "Manage your book". This page allows you to title and subtitle your book, download it, save it, or send it to a printer. On the same page, lower right, is a box titled "Save and share your book" which includes an entry field titled "Choose a storage location for your book". Directly below this command, on my Manage your book page are 2 little dots, one of which you must click on/choose or the "Save" button remains greyed out. Question: What specifically do I type into the box labeled "Choose a storage location for your book"? | I tried a few different word combinations, which then activates the Save button and appends those words to User:Swamixyz on my user page. Eventually, I discovered that each time I had saved it added another page name. You and others have helped delete the 6 unwanted page links from a total of 7. | b) The book title and subtitle failed to appear anywhere on all 7 "saves". | c) Is it possible to have only your book name follow User:Swamixyz without the prefix /Books? This is what I was originally trying to accomplish. OR Due to my lack of understanding of the Wiki hierarchy, am I constrained to saving books under User:Swamixyz/Books? I hope this clearly explains what I'm not understanding about saving and naming your book. You stated that you restored User:Swamixyz/Books/Astronomy. Since that was my subject, that's probably OK
443:
that box shows the number of articles you have in your book. Actually, there are 2 books saved with articles in them and they show up on the "All pages with prefix" page. Why would this be? I had a total of 4 books. Two of them were deleted per my request and the remaining 2 are still saved. I think you may have a bug in this system. It was not correctly reading and reporting the number of pages saved. When will the deleted pages be removed from my page? c. Finally, when I click "Talk" from my user page or the page "Help Desk
Revision history", you go straight to the Teahouse. Is that how that's supposed to work now? Apologize for the length, thanks Roger!

not answer my questions. Thank you for your patience, I'm a newbie with Book
Creator and have really tried to figure this out myself using all different types of "Help" pages. PS: How do I get my whole para to indent? The Indent help page tells you to use 1 colon for the 1st level response. What's the trick I'm missing here? —
246:
My user page only reflects the link User:Swamixyz/Books. Finally, you also state "The book title is defined by the == heading within the page". I have no idea what that means. I also read the page
Template:Saved book as you suggested. It contains a lot of nice programming info but certainly did
241:
Hello again RHaworth, You have asked what I don't understand. You have somewhat indirectly answered some of my questions above. However, please read the following and I suspect you will better understand the part(s) that I'm unclear on. a) Under "Create a book", "Start Book
Creator", "Show book"
442:
a. When I clicked "View
History" on my user page,it produced one page with only 2 of last years revisions reflected.(which is incorrect) b. While reviewing all my open tabs, every page reflects -0- pages under "Book Creator"/"Show Book" while I'm logged in and have Book Creator enabled. Normally,
432:
You said to let you know when I have found my contributions history and PrefixIndex. OK, found contributions history, clicked "Subpages" at the bottom and was brought to a page titled "All pages with prefix". At the bottom my saved books were listed. OK,so that's what you must go through to see a
427:
Thank you for addressing my issues so promptly, or should I be saying "ouch" from that little spanking:) I understand you guys are tired of answering newbie questions but it's difficult to know where to begin because
Knowledge's Help/FAQ is so comprehensive and cross-referenced. Anyway, on to
331:
I'd be grateful if you could either a) answer my questions, or b) point me in the right direction to get help. The
Teahouse is probably not the most appropriate area to pose these questions. Ever since I discovered the Create a Book feature I've had a lot of problems with it.
433:
list of your books? Am I following you? I assume you also use this page to input various other directory paths you may be searching for? You also find yourself at "All pages with prefix" if you click PrefixIndex (or
Special:PrefixIndex) on the page Knowledge Talk.
437:
I don't really need to preview, I thought it would be nice to see how your book looks. No, I do not have a slow internet connection. Yes, you are correct, there is a button labeled "Preview with PediaPress. It is grayed out so I must have overlooked it.
469:
b) I don't really know enough about book creator to answer the first part of your question. The second part is almost as confusing. You have two books - "all pages with prefix" shows two books - what is the problem?
207:
it is simply a location for the instructions about the page. You could move it anywhere else and it would not change the book contents. The book title is defined by the == heading within the page. More details at
336:
How do you delete a book page that has no content? I made a mistake and then it creates another page with the mistaken title. But how do you completely clear the empty book user page?
275:
Once you have created a book you can move it but this could cause problems because Book
Creator is still going to insist on one or other of its two standard name prefixes.

393:? When you have found your contribs history you will find PrefIndex at the "Subpages" link at the bottom of it. Please let me know that you have found both.
25:
272:. Yes, there is a distinct bug - the "Save book" button stays greyed. The trick on this one is to click on the other button and back on the one you want!
