John,
If you haven't watched this Free Webinar on Word, I suggest you do
unless you know Word really, really well - and it sounds like you don't.
You'll need to understand Styles etc to get a good book out of Word and
to successfully combine Legacy RTF with the pieces you are preparing to
add to it.

Note there are other webinars on Word as well but they're not free.
You need to subscribe to the Legacy Webinars to view the others.

I use MS Word 2007. A number of months ago somebody in the LUG
mentioned limitations or problems with MS Word while assembling a
book, and suggested another word processing program (possibly an
open-source one). I do not remember the original question put the LUG,
or the alternative word processing program.
My basic question is whether others have had problems preparing
printed books in MS Word. If so, which alternative word processing
program would they suggest? I get nervous about doing complex things
on computers, so try to foresee and prevent problems, rather than
sorting out messes later on.
I have been gradually preparing pages in MS Word, to be later inserted
where Place Holder pages have been set aside via the Legacy Publishing
Center. In them, I have inserted high resolution photos, maps etc.
Could large file sizes cause problems e.g. Does MS Word have a small
clipboard or memory which does not handle rearranging chapters or
pages with high resolution images?
I presume that when you save a book in the Publication Center as an
RTF file, it would be compatible with any word processing program.
When everything is just right, I intend to save the whole book as a
PDF file before printing.
