INTRODUCTION

MS Word is the most popular word processing software used today. A word processor is essentially a computerized version of typewriter. However, the computer adds features typewriters never dreamed of having like spell check the ability to save and store documents, copy and paste functions, the ability to add images and shapes to documents, and many more. Another benefit is that it helps the user to type faster and more accurate.

This software is used to create, edit, and format written documents in the workplace, at school, and at home. Examples include personal and formal business letters, resumes, coversheets, and homework. Intermediate and advanced level knowledge of this software could lead to job opportunities since          Ms Word is used a lot in the workplace.

How effective is ms word in creating a book?

Why should we choose ms word for creating a book?

Ms Word is effective in making a book because it provides a variety of features that are required to make an attractive book. Microsoft Word 2013 is an excellent book writing tool -- as long as you stick to typing text for the book's chapters. It's less than stellar at handling jobs such as editing cover images and positioning objects to precise page locations quickly. Don't let those limitations stop you, because you can actually use Word to write a book, if you don't have other desktop publishing programs to help you. Microsoft packed a surprising number of tools into it's word processing application that simplify your writing task and help you create a book you'll be proud to share with the world.

Features of ms word used for creating a book?

Ø CHECK THE SPELLING – You can correct your spelling errors all in one go, to ensure you haven’t left any stone unturned. This can be done by running a full Word spell check from the Review tab, Proofing group, Spelling and Grammar button (or press the F7 keyboard shortcut). 

Ø MAIL MERGE – This feature allows us to send out bulk emails, but consequently with unique elements. For example, we could produce a series of labels or envelopes for a large mailing, an email or letter that includes names and addresses and other details or a ‘directory’. 

Ø Find and replace - Word Replace can search for all occurrences of a particular word, phrase or set of characters and replace them with an alternative. 

Ø WATERMARKS – If you’re sending an important document or draft sample, you want to be able to protect your content without having to edit much of it. Insert a watermark specific to your objectives via the page layout button. 

Ø HEADER & FOOTER – It’s important to use the space in your header and footer to save space in other areas of your document. This also makes your file have a professional look that can include the page numbers across the whole document.

Ø Using hyperlinks - One of the best ways to give your Word document that extra cutting edge is to insert hyperlinks on images and text to make your document interactive.

Ø  SETTING INDENTATION AND ADJUSTING SPACING BETWEEN LINES AND PARAGRAPHS:

Formatting a paragraph also includes setting indentation and adjusting the spacing that is to be put in between the lines and paragraphs.

Ø Format painter-You can copy the various paragraph formatting features such as left/right indentation, alignment and spacing from one place and apply it to another place by using the FORMAT PAINTER button of Clipboard group of Home tab.

Ø Word art-WordArt is a text styling utility available in MS Word application. In MS Word, we can type the text decoratively using the WordArt feature, which transforms the text into a drawing object.

THESAURUS: A Thesaurus is a software tool included with some word processors that provides synonyms for selected words on command.

 TABLES:

A table presents information in a form that is    easy to understand. Table is defined as an arrangement of information in rows and columns. In MS Word, a table can be used for representing the text data in tabular form which look much attractive.

Some additional features added in ms word 2019 are:

Ø Use LaTeX syntax in your equations

Word now supports LaTeX math syntax to create and edit math equations. Write equations by selecting LaTeX format from the Equations tab.

Ø Improve your reading experience

Give your eyes a rest. Adjust text spacing, column width, and page color. Or listen as Word reads your document aloud, highlighting text as it's read.

Ø Draw and write with your digital pen

A customizable, portable set of pens (and pencils!) lets you write in your document in a natural way. Highlight something important, draw, convert ink to a shape, or do math.

Steps to create a booklet

Ø On the PAGE LAYOUT tab, click the icon at the bottom-right corner of the Page Setup group to pop out the Page Setup window.

Ø On the Margins tab, under Pages, change the setting for multiple pages into Book fold. The orientation automatically changes to Landscape.

Ø To reserve space on the inside fold for binding, increase the width of the Gutter.

Ø On the Paper tab, select the Paper size. Keep in mind that the final size of the booklet is one half of the paper size. Make sure your printer is stocked with paper of the right size.

Ø Click OK. If your document already has content, the text is formatted automatically, but you might need to adjust objects like images and tables manually.

Steps to create a book

                                        i.    Start Microsoft Word. Click "File," then "New." Double-click the “Books” file folder on the “Available Templates” screen. Double-click the “Other books” file folder.

                                       ii.    Scroll through the templates.

                                     iii.    Highlight the placeholder information on the first/cover page of the template. Type your own details such as the book’s title and the author’s name. To delete text from the template, highlight it and press the “Delete” key on the keyboard.

                                    iv.    Add an image to use as your book cover by clicking the “Insert” tab. Click “Picture.” Browse to the cover photo or picture and double-click it. This is also the process for adding an author photo, which you may want to use for the back page of the book.

                                      v.    Scroll through the included pages of the template, which will vary per template. To start a new page, press the “Ctrl” and “Enter” keys together, forcing a page break.

                                    vi.    Type the beginning of the book or “Chapter One.” To emphasize a chapter header, highlight the text, click the “Home” tab and click the “B” icon on the ribbon. You can also enlarge the header with the “Font size” menu.

                                   vii.    Continue typing. As you come near the bottom of a page, Word automatically inserts a new one into the book. To force additional page breaks, such as to break the book up into chapters, continue the “Ctrl” and “Enter” process.

                                 viii.    Give your pages numbers by clicking the “Insert” tab. Click the “Page Number” button’s drop-down menu and choose the location for the pages. This will add the numbers to all of the pages; you don’t have to be on page 1 to do so or repeat the process on each page of the book.

                                    ix.    Click the “File” tab. Click “Save As.” Enter a name for the book and click the “Save” button.

              conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that MS Word is the best operating software for making a book.

We can make multiple mails easily by using the mail merging feature. Further, MS Word 2019 also adds some good features that can be used to make a book easily. Some of its features like mail merge, watermarks, preview, word art, etc made it easier for us to make a book easily.
