PDF Ebooks Are Easily Created With Office Suite Alternatives To Microsoft Office 2007.
If you think you need Microsoft Office 2007 to create quality PDF or HTML ebooks, think again! Also, consider the price of almost $500.00 as being too steep for your acceptable software purchase. Especially, when you can obtain other quality suites for FREE or for less expensively.
Open Office 2.3 is Free and is a great product to write PDF eBooks including the HTML executable format as well.
It is very easy and much simpler to write and create PDF format using Open Office Suite. Additionally, It is a great deal easier to work with than using the HTML EDITORS.
Creating the HTML it is not difficult. It is a simple ’save’ as the type file.
My e-Course provides all the necessary steps to easily write and create a HTML executable eBook.
Additionally, I include all software and resources that you will need to compile your pre-written content into a (.exe) formatted e-book.
You are, also, provided with the PDF Converter Creator if you continue to use Microsoft or any other alternative Word Processor Suite (other than Open Office).
The fact is you do not have to use any additional software to create PDF or even Flash formatted files if you export (convert) using Open Office 2.3.
For some Microsoft Office Users of earlier versions to MS Office Professional 2007, obtaining the PDF Converter Creator for FREE will enable easy conversion to PDF from Word Processing Applications.
My recommendation is to download and use Open Office suite 2.3 for one week only. I am quite sure you will continue to use it as your primary word processing program.
I have been able to create spreadsheets, databases, documents, presentations, slides and more. The great advantage is I can convert my files almost effortlessly into Flash (.swf) format, PDF and compatible MS Office documents. In addition, I can convert or save as any type format and style of almost every other software suite application on the market.
There are also other Software Suite alternatives to Microsoft Office 2007 Professional.
1. Corel WordPerfect has a high cost of $300.+.
2. Star Office Suite sells for less than $70.
3. Google Documents and Spreadsheets are FREE
4. Open Office Suite is FREE.
There are other suites to choose from, however, you should start with the above mentioned.
I am a skilled professional using the many versions of Microsoft Office Suites. Nevertheless, I have begun to use MS Office less and less, and I use Open Office Suite 2.3 more and more. (I also used earlier versions 2.0, 2.1, 1.0).
The current version of Open Office 2.3 is a fantastic software application.
You can purchase it on CD in many different market places starting at $4.00 up to $20. Or, you can download it for Free. Simply execute a search on Open Office Suite 2.3 in Yahoo or Google, or any other search engine. You will then see the many links to download the software for your particular Operating System.
Remember, you must realize there is no perfect software program. Open Office 2.3 is of great quality, very user friendly, included with fantastic options and features.
It really makes word processing and writing a breeze. Thus, allowing easy ebook production. You can achieve a great deal more using the spreadsheet, database, or presentation. You can also work with the graphics capabilities offered in insertions for images, shapes, and text.
Tables are easily managed and positioned for precise design and layout in any of your special creative needs.
Microsoft Office, probably, included the options and features in Office 2007 Pro only because the FREE Open Office was too competitive. Open Office introduced many more options for free that Microsoft charged expensively for the same features.
Additionally, Open Office will work on Windows, Linux, Solaris and the Mac. Compatibility of the application allow the transferring documents very easily and with less formatting changes, modifications, hassle and conversions.
The learning curve is very minor. The interface and navigation of Open Office is very similar to Microsoft Office and other suites allowing a simple and easy experience.
In my professional opinion, Open Office 2.3 is superior in options and features that offer Writers (or wanna-be authors) a great advantage when creating books or other type digital media.
In the example of creating PDF ebooks, you simply click to export your content into an eBook PDF format.
How much easier can it get than that?
It is a bit different to create the HTML format ebook, web page or document. Nevertheless, you can also create HTML (.ex) formatted ebooks just as easily by saving the file as a web page.
You can learn many options and features such as Table Of Contents, Bookmarks, Links, URL, Video access, insertion of images, special characters, symbols, design and layout considerations and more.
Additionally, Open Office can export very easily to the MediaWiki free server based software format that allows a user to create and edit the pages effortlessly.
Conversion for iPods, various Video formatting such as Flash (.swf) files and more continue to advance competing software applications. This is a great consumer advantage.
If you are looking to write your ebook using an easy program, you will not find a more simple approach when using Open Office Suite 2.3. You can’t beat the price of being FREE nor the quality of the software.
My e-course, including Enhanced Flash Annotated Video Tutorials, offers more information and step-by-step instruction to write, create and promote your ebook on the Internet and or CD Product.
I am always pleased to assist current and aspiring writers achieve their potential success.

Want to sell How-To information about specific Renewable Energy topics. Is an informative Ebook, with links to pay-for-download sites a good way to do this? FHK
Plan to publish an Ebook that describes several do-it-yourself ways to save Energy, with links to individual sites that offer inexpensive details of installation. Is this a good way to go? FHK
Thank you so much for your comment and inquiry.
I myself am interested in Energy Topics. Therefore, the category should do well, especially if you have knowledge and experience or simply do research on the issues.
Links included in an Ebook is one of the most important technological advances for digital products and medium.
The important aspect to remember is you want to offer your readers a real value whether they actually pay money for your Ebook or you provide it for FREE!
Links to additional valuable content and your other ’saleable’ products are acceptable, and a very smart approach to promoting your sales.
However, ( a big however), you must make sure that links to sell another product, is not what your writing is about.
Offer your reader fruitful information and knowledge; helpful hints and tips whether they purchase additional items from you or they do not.
Think upon it as you being the reader of others products.
I know, for myself, I am frustrated with the many eBooks that are written to simply provide links for me to purchase an item.
I feel as though the writer, in reality, does not concern them self with their audience
I do not want to learn for Free or abuse others rights in not paying for their information. However, I do expect to receive valuable content if they, the writer, offers a free ebook or an Ebook for a cost.
My objective is to provide as much guidance and knowledge as possible to those who are interested in learning the subjects of my expertise.
I hope to provide valuable substance in my written material whether it is for FREE or a FEE!
I suggest that when you provide your links within your Ebook, also offer links for items that are of no cost.
In addition, make sure to provide the information that is of value in your Ebook.
Advertisements to promote and sell your products are not the very same as providing eBooks of Advertisement ONLY!
I hope my comment reply is of assistance to you and your intended achievements.
Sorry for the delay in answering as I was on extended holiday during the New Year!
Kindest Regards, B. Robert
