Do not use Microsoft Word! Not for almost anything. Fair enough, we all need to type a quick document for the board of directors, but any other material including, books, bound documents, financial reports, pitches, etc. will all look a million % better if it is done by a layout artist. Even if the artist only recreates your Word layout it will have a different feel. The fonts will be slightly more sophisticated in most cases and the margins, collumns and spacing won’t have that default Word, or Excell feel to them.
To explain… Have you ever seen a car just like yours? Chances are you could spot 5 differences in markings and stickers and similar things right away. Why? Because you see your car every day. How many Word documents do you see per day or per week? Does it make sense that something refreshing and different will have more impact?
