Need Writers Software for my Book

I spent 2 hours today searching for software for writers to keep track of the chapters and subjects in my SOON to be - BEST SELLER - Nonfiction book, A Rubik's CUbe Mystery SOlved. or How I found my husband's mother, Mary Bruckheimer, after 50 years.

I have tried various software products and none seem to work for me. TOday, I found Prose Pro - an add-on for MS Word 2007 that may do the trick! The software will generate submission-ready copy of my book for my publisher.

Please send comments, or let me know what you have tried in writing nonfiction, fiction or even articles. Thanks, Judy

Looking for Someone before 1950 - try Manteno State Hospital

It was a surprise to me to learn that a state Mental Health hospital, such as Manteno Mental Hospital, Kankakee County, IL were not mandated to keep records or archive inmate records or names before 1952. http://www.mantenostatehospital.com/genealogy.html

I am searching for our g-grandmother, Henrietta Lewin. She is in 1900 US Census, but can't find in the 1910, 1920, or 1930 census. She is on one of her son's obituary.

Sooooooooo, not for grandma, but suppose we wanted to find someone and they are in a mental institution. Has anyone run into this problem before? Has anyone search for mental hospital records ????

Last night, I found, and purchased online- a death certificate for Henrietta Lewin, age 62, that could be our relative. Soon, I will learn where she was when she died in 1942 - her death; and maybe a clue where she was from 1910 until 1942.
