The most common program by far (95%) for soc/humanities books is Word. Generally (with many exceptions, of course) math/science people relate to a computer as if it were a tool bench to be modified. Soc/humanity people relate to computers like they do to a car. They don't rent a new one or rebuild the engine just to make a long trip more efficiently. They accept all annoyances as unavoidable and something to whine fruitlessly about or fix through kludges.
IME, the overwhelming majorit of soc/humanity people don't even know how to make the automatic TOC work in Word.
