Your selections: Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Indesign are graphic design programs, not especially suitable for text layout and especially formal of book/novel layouts. Perhaps you should take a look at Microsoft Word 2003 with its overall effective paragraph styling and document page settings which are currently the standard word processing application used by major book publishers.
You cannot do it with Illustrator, since it can only have one page per document. You can use CorelDraw for that, since it’s got multipage facilities, styles and advanced text handling, but CorelDraw is not designed for book layouting, but illustrating. You can of course create a book with Draw, but you will lack some tools that are included in specific software like InDesign, Corel Ventura or QuarkXPress.
The user above has no clue: InDesign is specifically targeted to publication layouting. Word is a word processor. You can do very coarse layouting but it is definitely not the standard programme for that.
InDesign wins hands down. Used professionally for books and magazines.Use Illustrator (instead of Corel Draw) for complex vector logos and illustrations. Samuel R Daines II.
Also consider getting the whole Adobe Creative Suite.
