After downloading your book from Ghostwriter Express, the next step is to access the file on your device. Typically, downloaded files can be found in the "Downloads" folder, which is a default folder for storing all internet downloads on most computers and devices. Navigate to this folder on your device, or to wherever your downloaded files appear, to locate your downloaded book file. The file name will be your book title and export type.
Your book file will be downloaded in Microsoft Word DOCX format. If you do not have Microsoft Word installed, you can still open and edit your DOCX files using various free word processing programs. Here are a few popular alternatives:
Google Docs: Accessible via a web browser, Google Docs allows you to upload the DOCX file directly to your Google Drive and open it for editing. To use Google Docs, visit the Google Drive website, sign in or create a free account, and upload your downloaded file by dragging it into the browser window or using the "New" button followed by "File Upload."
LibreOffice Writer: This is a free, open-source office suite that includes a word processor capable of handling DOCX files. Download and install LibreOffice from its official website, then open the application and use the "Open File" option to access your downloaded book.
Apache OpenOffice Writer: Similar to LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice is another free suite that includes a word processor. Download it from the official Apache OpenOffice site, install it, and open your DOCX file by launching the program and selecting "Open" from the "File" menu.
These programs not only allow you to open and edit DOCX files but also offer a variety of tools for formatting and refining your document, ensuring that you can continue to work on your book without needing Microsoft Word.
