A word processing application like Microsoft Word may help...
Family Book Creator is able to create full featured sophisticated Book Documents in multiple formats like DOCX, DOC, PDF and EPUB without the need of having Microsoft Word or any other word processor or PDF application installed. You will only need a word processor like Microsoft Word if you are going to add additional content to your book document. It is possible to use OpenOffice Writer as word processor as well, but then not all Family Book Creator features are supported.
