I am writing a book about the death of my father and the murder weapon,
Hospice. What application do I use to write the book, which is my first?
 
Use pencil and paper. The choice of application makes absolutely no
difference to the quality of book you end up with, and it sure as hell won't
ease the pain any.
 
As Jezebel implies, for *writing* the book, any word processor will do. If
you are trying to format the book as a manuscript or camera-ready copy to be
printed, then you can use Word (though it may not be the best application
for the latter). If you're new to Word (and especially if you have used a
typewriter in the past), you can keep yourself from getting in too much
trouble by reading (and following) the tips in
http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/GettingStarted.htm and (better)
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/concepts/introduction/index.html.
