Word for Independent Authors - formatting

[Ray Bright]

Would like to start a thread for Indie Authors using MSWord.



I tried Scrivener, but quickly realized it's just a file structure gimmick, and doesn't mesh with Word's Track Changes feature outside editor's use. Track is critical for most Indies.

But Scrivener did allowed me to organize my workflow and end up with a document I could easily Export/Compile in any format. Word does not.

But! I think I've figured Scrivener out enough to write a 100k words in Word that's formatted properly and can be Imported in Scrivener, et al, so that I can output to all formats.

So I'm asking if anyone has written a chaptered piece in Word, formatted it properly for the Indie Author market, and can explain here how to set up a docx. to the end.
