In InDesign, as in QuarkXPress, everything goes into a frame or a box. This document is not completely empty, it has a cover and it has the title page and a place holder for the table of contents and then the book contents starts right here in this text frame. Let's do that here in the book starter document.
We're looking at it in Preview mode but if I switch to normal editing mode, you can see all the non-printing frames and so on and link graphics but do you see how it's using fancy type face and separate captions? We have images that have this cool little effect in the corners, we have a really cool chapter start font and so on. This is how you would normally start with an empty facing pages document but here, I thought you'd like to see the final result and we've seen this layout in earlier videos.
Going to show you just a really quick overview of how that's done with Adobe InDesign and then we'll also take a peek at pages.

We saw how you can export a Word document to PDF format and fancy it up a bit with linked TOC and bookmarks but if you really want to do a beautiful job of laying out a book that's going to be exported to PDF, then you need to use a professional layout program like Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress or even the free Apple Pages will give you a lot more control over what you can do with a document and then all of those programs can export to PDF.
