A great looking book tells the reader that you care; a poorly designed book often sends a different message. Most self-publishers rely on templates. You can find book templates on the Internet; what if the template you buy requires changes? When you understand templates and styles, change is easy. “Designing Books with Microsoft Word: A Guide to Creating and Using Microsoft Word Templates and Styles” will show you how easy it is to create your own book templates.
