TeXlive editor recommendation

Post by Alexandros81 »

Hi! I finally installed TexLive 2016 on windows 7 64-bit.
I am writing a book related to space science. I need info on how i format the text and basically how i get started in Latex.
TexLive has Texworks and i am using it for the last 20 minutes. I cannot figure out how to place text in the center of document.
Should i be using Texwork to type my book?

TeXworks is a quick, easy, and fast editor. I use it for all LaTeX documents.
