Write the text in MS Word, but do a "save as" and save it as a "text
only" file before dumping it into the blurb template. You'll then do
all the formating in the blurb template. I write for numerous
publishers, and that's the standard procedure. Of course the
publishers use InDesign or Quark rather than a template like blurb,
but it amounts to the same thing.

Hi All.
Over the years, with many tales and stories told in the survey lunch
rooms around the world, it has been suggested by more than one person,
that i should sit down and write a book about how land surveying has
changed from when i started, 1973 to when i was asked to retire, 2007.
I have many a tale to dictate.:-)
As of Thursday, I'll have some time on my hands till Sept 5th so i
might just have at it this summer.
I was thinking a Blurb or similar type book might be the best way to
go. Ease of publishing and fairly inexpensive.
Question is, would it be best to write the stories in MS word or
Apples version of word, THEN cut and paste the text and photos, or
just type away on Blurbs software.
I';m thinking the latter might be to hard to cut and paste when i
decide to move paragraphs etc.
Any thoughts.
Dave
