Carol,
It sounds as if you haven't learnt to use all the features in Word which
would stop those sorts of things happening.
Consider watching the webinars on Word. The first one I think briefly
mentions the use of sections etc. You need a webinar subscription to
watch the others.

I had problems with a 125 page book using Word 2007. It was an
editing nightmare. I've used Word for years and recommend perhaps
saving in chapters in separate files. That way a correction on page
87 won't change words/pictures or placement on page 50. You could
call BYU Print and Mail at 801 422-0432 and ask this question.

*Subject:* [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book
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.
