New! A slimmed down version of the Book Design Wizard 2.0. Less features, cheaper price.

Designed for self-publishing author's on a tight budget our Book Design Wizard Jr. is a slimmed down version of the Book Design Wizard 2.0. It contains less features at a reduced price. If version 2.0 is out of your budget or you don't need all of the bells and whistles then the Book Design Wizard Jr. is for you.
The basics behind Jr. are the same as the full version. You enter your book's information into the form, choose what items to include, choose your fonts, enter your chapter titles, choose your page headers and location for your page numbers and then click 'Create Book'. The Book Design Wizard Jr. will then take this information and created a customized book layout in Microsoft Word. You can then use the included tools to insert your text and add additional chapters if needed.
The main features that are not included with Jr. are the ability to select different style options for your chapter titles and paragraphs, not being able to choose a Book Fold format suitable for printing on a desktop printer, using the wizard to include an index or insert pictures. A list of these and other differences are listed below.
