Try the Visual Basic Bible.  It'll set you back around $50, but it's an awesome book.

Use Desktop Author, I think it is best for e-books. U can also export in SWF format. \n\ngotot http://www.download.com and search for Desktop Author

The scrapbook was an awesome idea. I would do something similar - something to her personality. If she likes to cook, find her favorite foods and make a personalized cookbook out of it. Find out what she likes to do, then embelish and personalize it.

if you're doing a simple one, you could use windows movie maker.  but if you're gonna do a more professional one, i recommend adobe premiere pro.

Probably one of the best ones out there is RPG Maker XP. It costs about $90.00 US but you can find versions around the web.

I would use Micrsoft Word. You will have more control of the look and layout than if you buy a program designed for writing proposals. Of course if you don't know what to put in a business plan and proposal you could buy one of a million different books and software programs as a guide. Check out http://www.businessplans.org/ for some guidance on which ones are best.

Notes is FRUSTRATING when working with tables.  My own experience is to try exporting the work to Excel.  There might be a better option.
