About Our Latest Book
Custom Page
Our latest book is all about designing better looking books using Microsoft Word.
Word is not perfect, and it is certainly not a replacement for a dedicated page layout prgram. However, for most of us, Word is a most capable page layout program and more than capable of handling book design and layout.
When you tame the beast and learn something about Word Templates and Styles, there is very little that cannot be accomplished with Word, and Word alone.
When you make a few setting and options changes, many of the problems you may have experienced in the past, disappear.

Why We Wrote The Book
We wrote “Designing Beautiful Books” to address the problems many new self-publishers and beginning Word users seem to have when they try to make Word behave as they think it should behave.
Many of the problems we address come from users that have asked us for help in solving a problem over the years.
Word has its fair share of detractors. We happen to believe that Word is often blamed for a problem that is actually a problem caused by the user.

When you learn how to set up Word for book layout and design, Word will seem almost like a brand new program. Perhaps the only program you will need to create a better looking books.
