SOFTWARE

Adobe InDesign: Too cumbersome for a 500-page text-heavy project
Microsoft Word: Available in all my machines; convenient; has Drop Cap, Auto Hyphenation, Book Fold layout, section breaks with flexible headers and footers
Acrobat Reader: I save the Word files as PDFs and print from Acrobat.
Create Booklet 2: I shouldn’t have bought this $19.99 app from the App Store, but I was frustrated when Word on my MacBook kept fucking shit up. I bought a refurbished Windows laptop the next day, and rendered CB2 useless.
