It of course depends on what kind of book you are writing.
If you are just writing a novel, you could use an ordinary word processor, such as AbiWord. If you are writing a scientific book including index, TOC, references, bibliography, footnotes, etc, use a document processor, such as LyX (http://www.lyx.org/). If you are writing a book that more looks like a newspaper or a magazine, with lots of different shorter and lengthier texts as well as images and other graphics, use a DTP software such as Scribus. Pick the right tool for the right task. Andreas 2007/4/25, John R. Culleton <john at wexfordpress.com>: > > Is Scribus suitable for book length projects?
