![]() Articles & Tips Do-It-Yourself Book Layout (With Microsoft Word) The advent of the word processor has opened doors to the average author that could only be imagined not more than a decade ago. Self Publishing has become a reality for tens of thousands of authors who would not otherwise be published due mainly to the low cost in getting a manuscript from the authors mind to the printing press. The first step is for the author to type their manuscript in a word processing program. After the manuscript has been edited, the intermediate step between the author's manuscript and the printing press is text layout or 'page composition' as it has been known for centuries. Programs like Microsoft Word make page composition look easy to the casual user, although true 'page composition' is still very much a learned skill perfected by few graphic designers. Keep this in mind as you attempt the do-it-yourself method of page layout and design. Word of Caution: The Do-it-Yourself method is not recommended if you are thinking of printing more than a couple hundred books. ![]() ![]() ![]()
