I can't tell you how many times I've been editing a book in Microsoft Word and wished that I could also typeset the book in Microsoft Word. Usually the book has hundreds of pages and thousands of footnotes, things that QuarkXPress, PageMaker, and In-Design don?t handle well at all. The problem is that Word doesn't handle typesetting well, especially adjusting word spacing (which is usually too wide) and inserting crop marks.
Fortunately, WordSetter changes that, making it possible to adjust word spacing, insert crop marks, insert thin spaces, and (on a Macintosh) use ligatures right in Microsoft Word. For me, this means no more setting footnotes by hand in QuarkXPress. It also means I can now do many of my projects completely in Microsoft Word, everything from writing to editing to indexing to typesetting.
