Summary: Clear, Clean, and Comprehensive
Review: "Just the Facts, Maam," pretty much describes my approach to this book. Word is a pretty big subject these days because the program does so much, and I figured that at 900 pages the book was long enough without my bulking it up with lots of extraneous "attitude" or cuteness. What you get here is the how and (often as importantly) the why of each and every one of Word 2000's features. And, since there are hundreds of features in all, I have organized the text in the order in which you're likely to need it. I start out with the basic stuff that all of us use most every day in Part I, and then move into more advanced editing, formatting, graphics, macros and data stuff, Web design, page layout, and collaboration. You get the stuff you need where you need it so it's easy to find the answer you want. Check it out for yourself and see why dozens of reviewers of my books over the years have put me at the top of their list for clarity and usefulness.

Summary: Outstanding Resource
Review: As an instructor, I have searched for clear and comprehensive resources to recommend. Mail merge and forms are covered in easy to read sections that I have had difficulty finding in other guides. I would recommend it for both beginners and experienced users.

Summary: Well Done, but Tough to Find Something Quickly
Review: I find this very useful, but cumbersome. What I think the subject matter might be labeled as, hardly is. Takes one more time than it should to search the index and try to find the appropriate section. For instance, try finding the typeover material quickly. It's there, but not indexed at all. Or another, try and find how to do a book print. Once you do find the appropriate section, the material is consise and laid out well. The illustrations of the screens are helpful and well done. Wish they would spend more time indexing thoroughly with cross-indexing, etc.

Summary: Running MS Word 2000
Review: Just a quick note: I thought this technical book was very well written in an easy to follow manner. It is not just jam backed with text; it has lots of illustrations to make it easy to follow along. This book is good for novices and experienced users who might not be familiar with all the MS Word features. As a developer it wasn't as useful because it didn't go into much detail about programming, nevertheless it is a good stepping stone.

Summary: Clear, comprehensive, and indispensable guide to Word 2000
Review: This all-in-one guide to Microsoft Word satisfies the needs of novice and advanced users alike. The layout is appealing and effective. As a Web designer, I appreciate the detailed descriptions and numerous screen illustrations of Word 2000's advanced Web publishing features. Fortunately, saving HTML pages will be much more convenient with the new "Saving a Web Page" feature, which allows a pages componenet files to be saved in any chosen location. If you want to take full advantage of the extensive power of Word 2000, or if you just want to understand its many features a bit better, I recommend having this how-to guide by your side. If you are an experienced Word user, the new features are easily found.
