Designing your book's interior is one of the most difficult things to do when you self-publish. Hiring an interior book designer can be expensive, especially if you are on a budget. Save yourself the time, and money and use our affordable Book Design Wizard to create your own customizable book layout in Microsoft Word.
With the Book Design Wizard you enter in the information and formatting options for your book in an easy to use form. After you enter in the required information simply click 'Create Book' and the Book Design Wizard will take the information you provided and create a professional looking book layout in Microsoft® Word.
After your initial book layout is created you can use the Book Design Wizard's tools to insert text into your book, add images, additional chapters or sections, delete chapters or sections, mark index entries, change the book size or margins, change the fonts used, the chapter style and more.
* The Book Design Wizard will work with Microsoft Word PC versions 2003, 2007 and 2010. It will not work with Word for Mac.
Book Design Wizard Features |
Below are some of the features you wil find in the Book Design Wizard.

Any Book Size You Need: Enter the size of the book when filling out the initial form. The book size can be changed after the book is created if needed by using the included 'Change Book Size' tool. *Book Fold formats cannot change the book size, they are always 8 1/2 x 11.
Your Choice of Fonts: Choose what fonts and font sizes to use for different areas of the book from a list of available fonts found on your computer. Includes a 'Font Previewer' tool that lets you preview the fonts to help you decide which to use. Standard fonts that are installed with Microsoft® Word are listed first in the list.
Chapter Style Choices:
Chapters: Select different style options for the Chapter Titles
such as alignment, amount of spacing between the top margin and chapter title,
whether or not to place a line beneath the chapter titles and chapter title letter spacing. Decide where you want new chapters to start in the
book. Have them always start on the right (odd) hand page of the book or to
start on the next immediate page following the previous chapter.
Paragraphs: Select the line spacing for the chapter paragraphs. Choose
either single, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75 or double spacing. Select the chapter paragraph
first line indenting. Choose either a 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch or no indentation of
the first line of each paragraph. If you choose to not indent, extra spacing between paragraphs
will be used instead. A tool to remove the indentation of a specific paragraph
after your book is created s also included.
Custom Running Heads: Select what you want to be displayed in the chapter page running headers, also called headers. You can select a different choice for the left (even) and right (odd) side pages. Choose either the author name, book title, current chapter title, text of your choosing or leave blank.

Automatic Book Layout: After filling out your book's information and choosing the style options click "Create Book" and the Book Design Wizard will automatically create the book layout in Microsoft Word using the selected choices. The layout will include a title page with the book title, subtitle and author namr; a copyright page with the book title, author name, copyright year, standard copyright notice and ISBN if you supplied one; front and back sections that you can choose to include when filling out the initial form including a dedication page, acknowledgments page, foreword page and table of contents, about the author and/or index. Each of the chapter titles you added durng the initial setup will also be placed in individual sections of the Word document with the running heads and page numbers with additional tools to bring in your chapter text. Additional sections and chapters can be inserted after the book is created by using the 'Add a New Section' or 'Add New Chapter' tool.
Easily Import Text: Each chapter and section inserted either when the book is initially created or when you use the 'Add New Chapter' or 'Add a New Section' tool will have some clickable text following the chapter title. When clicked it will open up an 'Insert Text' tool that will let you import text you copied from another document or let you type or insert the text manually in the document.

costs, and I am surprised it doesn't cost more... Truly a simple
and extraordinarily easy way to create a book! Thank you, thank
you, thank you..." - Terry McGhee
