if i do not have microsoft does that mean i cant Publish Books on eBook?

i want to publish a book on eBook but it wont let me unless if it’s a microsoft document. so does that mean i cant publish a book on it unless i use microsoft. if i do need micro. then how can i get it without buying it? or do i have to buy it?

Ignore the first answer.

Just about every wordprocessor has an option to save a file in Microsoft Word format. Consult the documentation to find out how to do this. They might call it “exporting” rather than “saving”.

I use a wordprocessor called OpenOffice, which is available as a free download from www.openoffice.org. It has all the features a novelist would ever need, and can open and save files in Microsoft Word format.

500 Handmade Books


$24.95


Interpretations of the Timeless Beauty of Books by Today and 39;s Top Artists Interest in bookbinding and the related arts has exploded in the past decade, inspiring artists to explore the unlimited possibilities of the form — and delighting collectors, crafters, and gallery owners. This new and provocative on-the-page gallery, richly illustrated with hundreds of breathtaking photographs, will appeal to your sense of fine taste and awe of history. You will be dazzled by the artistry of a finely tooled leather cover, embellished with traditional gold-leaf lettering; the intricacy of an exotic Ethiopian binding with a show-stopping open spine; and others that resemble mysterious puzzle boxes, or that curl, hang, and swirl. The sublimely talented contributors all put their finest work on display Jeanne Germani and 39;s Cloudspeak showcases her own handmade papers, made from such varied materials as recycled denim, thistle, and other plant matter. Chris Bivin and 39;s codex-style volume features curious, tiny, found objects. One of Laura Waits untitled pieces utilizes a handsome raised-cord binding to connect a pair of stained-cedar covers with abstract aluminum letterforms attached. The entire collection is juried by the esteemed Steve Miller. Miller established Red Ozier Press, known for its fine, handmade craftsmanship of limited-first-edition books, and continues to publish limited edition works through Red Hydra Press. He teaches bookmaking, hand papermaking, and letterpress printing at the University of Alabama, and also coordinates the Universitys MFA in the Book Arts Program.
