Hello, Could someone please let me know how to change the cover size to accommodate the size Amazon says I need ("Your expected cover size is 13.099x9.917 but the submitted file size is 13.055x9.917")?

I've attached an example file with the too small "13.055" size that I need to make 13.099 to provide Amazon.

Thank you, Noob

I suspect the problem is that the page count is wrong, so that makes he spine width slightly too narrow. The easiest thing is to go back, check the sizes, page count etc that you've entered and download a template that is the correct size. You could just increase the width of the doc by .044 and stretch the image to fit (I'm assuming that the actual cover isn't just black with a title), but, although it's only a small amount, it may mess other things up and still produce an error.

Thank you very much, sir. I had to change the units in Document Setup, then I was able to change the dimensions in the Spread Setup, as you advised. It solved the problem. Thank you!
