If you are interested in taking a look at Adobe InDesign you can either download a seven-day trial or purchase a subscription from www.adobe.com/uk/
Unlike Microsoft Word, the industry-standard design software Adobe InDesign gives you the freedom of being able to accurately position images and text on pages without worrying about anything moving position or sliding down on to the next page. This makes it ideal for anyone considering writing and designing their own self-publishing project or looking to produce an ebook, whether for export as a pdf, epub or any other format.
It is well worth considering the move to InDesign for anyone looking to produce professional and elegant looking documents to accompany their writing. Yes, it does work very differently to Microsoft Word, but after the initial learning curve it is much easier to produce nice-looking results and work with.
