It is better to use a graphics design program such as the open source (and free) Scribus or the $$$ Adobe InDesign, but these programs have steep learning curves. Using your word processor can lead to a shoddy job (see Book Interior Design: Tips to Avoid the Amateur Look). If you want to do it yourself, if you can’t afford to pay someone to do it for you, or if you are trying to cut the costs of producing our book to the bone (see Twelve Tips: How to Reduce the Cost of Your Self-Published Book), then you might be tempted to use a program you know: your trusty word processor.
