I have an idea for a novel and I want to write it in proper manuscript format. However, I’m not sure how to adjust my word processor to do this. I was wondering if there is a downloadable manuscript template online? I only found one, and it wasn’t very good.

Just type it in 12 font New Times Roman and center the text.
Your writing talent os so much more important than your typing skills.

Use a common font that is easy to read, in size 12. Make sure your work is justified (layout wise, so it fills the entire line) and double spaced.
Those are the general rules of manuscripts, but it depends on the publisher that you intend to send it to. Some like thick margins down the left too, but some don’t. I’d go onto the website of some publishers you wish to send it too, on there they often specify how they expect it to be formatted.
