Microsoft Word- A Writer's Workplace

I've used Microsoft Word for more than 11 years now. There's no other word processor that I would use for writing stories, doing homework assignments, composing reports, etc. I would use Word for both school and home.
But I don't think people seem to realize how spacious and flexible Microsoft Word can be. As a writer, Word becomes more than just an app on the computer; it becomes part of you to where you can't live without it.

So, as you can imagine, Microsoft Word was a necessity for writing my book Dolphin Princess. Though, as much as I was familiar with Word, there were a couple of things that I've never thought of using, until it came to me reformatting my book to be 6x9 in and creating a PDF of my cover art:
-Changing the paper size, when you click the Layout tab and press the "Size" button on the Page Setup section
-Using zero margins by clicking the "Margin" button on the Page Setup section, AND of course
-Saving the file as PDF by scrolling down on the "Save As" menu until you see "PDF," instead of "Word doc."

You may be wondering: Did writing this book change how you write on Microsoft Word? My answer is: Of course it did!

During that time that I was writing Dolphin Princess, I was thinking that when a book gets published through Barnes and Noble Press, then it would automatic fit to paper. However, that wasn't the case, when I had tried to publish a book, not knowing that the size 8x11 in. was too big a size for a novel. Therefore, I had to reformat the manuscript, as well as the cover art, to 6x9 in. After learning these new things from Word, I made it a point to keep them in mind when I'm writing more books for this series.
