There are several basic reasons for this.įirst, for the type of publishing we do-graphics/illustration heavy textbooks and technical materials-MS Word is incredibly unfriendly to use. And, when we get manuscripts-whether they are in Word or WordPerfect or any other format-we almost immediately dump the content into InDesign and then begin working with it there. The short answer is that we never use MS Word for page layout. Another part of this, though, is that we have plenty of folks who spend an inordinate amount of time formatting their manuscripts in Word before handing them off to us either thinking that they are helping us out or to show us what they want their page design to look like. Or, more specifically, they ask us if we use MS Word. When it comes to book design, one of the questions we get all the time-especially from (potential) authors-is what kind of software we use for page layout.
