Well, I've used MS Word for laying out all my other books and  
articles. See for example my (rather short) "Essay on Geometry" at:

<http://homepage.mac.com/ardeshir/EssayOnGeometry.pdf>

... or, if you have a broadband connection which allows you to  
download in a reasonable amount of time an entire book (around 1 MB)  
complete with all its meta-mathematical symbols, see my book  
"Critique of Gödel's Theorem" co-authored with my Argentine colleague  
Ferdinand Romero, which is available as a .pdf file from:

<http://homepage.mac.com/ardeshir/Critique_Of_Goedel.pdf>

... both of which were written and laid out entirely with Word 98 for  
Mac (under OS 9 again), and then converted to .pdf flies.

I wish I could afford InDesign!


Oh well. Cheers, anyway.
