MS Word is a great tool to format manuscripts for on-demand printing because you have granular control over line spacing, indents, margins, etc. However, if you’re considering an online version or a Kindle version, then you’ll need a PDF editor like PDFelement. This desktop software for Windows and Mac can convert your Word file to PDF, EPUB, HTML, and other web-friendly formats for wider distribution.
You can also directly edit PDF without having to convert it back to Word. So, if you need to change images, add page numbering, apply a watermark, and so on, this software is very useful. Another advantage of using PDF over Word is that it looks the same on any device, so potential publishers can view it on a smartphone, a tablet, a notebook, or a large computer monitor, and it will be identical across all screen types and aspect ratios.
