Re: Newbie question on making-editing ebooks

brnmcrk (do you have a name?),

Other word processors can do this, some in more sophisticated ways than 
others. There are simply better tools for better end results. Straight 
text poses fewer problems than other content, and Aaron shows how to use 
Word for decent end-results. Open Office and Symphony are similar to 
Word, for example, and both are free. There are other free word 
processors, as well as less sophisticated tools, and highly specialised 
ones. There are many paid for examples as well.

I will emphasise, before anyone else does, that one needs some 
familiarity with making ebooks, and maybe with other tools, before 
taking note of my remarks. And that caution does apply with some advice 
you will come across, like saving as text and moving to another tool. 
Those are for later on, when one is clear about the process.
