The conversation shifted towards applications and editors for web design and that's fine. But what I'm wondering is if Word is so clumsy in terms of the formatting it creates and then needs to be cleaned, what program do you use to write your book? Is it better to write a book in notepad (or text editor)? Or simply convert a Word doc to text?

However, that question applies to text. What application is best when the book is graphics -intensive, as mine are? Does Calibre handle graphics manipulation.

There needs to be a way to create the layout of a book before it's converted into the various formats recommended and/or all the formats that Calibre will convert to.

As Worldwalker says, Word is not the tool for web design and Dreamweaver is not a word processor. So, once again, what program is best for writing AND creating the layout of the book, especially when graphics/photos are involved?
