Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Word 97 in 24 Hours

Summary: Get a jump start in Microsoft Word 97!
Review: I count on our local library to review and work with tutorial texts on computer software before I make a final purchase. This book was a real FIND for me. I am simultaneously teaching myself Exel 97, Publisher, Quicken and Word 97. And of course I am doing at least five computer projects at a time and working full time. I purchase for my personal library one or two books to serve as my key resources on each program. This is my Word favorite. It has enough graphics (pictures, not sketches) to guide the user through each topic. I never found myself confused about how to accomplish a task. More importantly, it is very easy to find your way through this book. Both the Table of Contents and the Index are accessible to a beginning learner. I'VE BEEN FRUSTRATED LONG ENOUGH WITH THE .....FOR DUMMIES series to appreciate resources which are truly sensitive to my needs as a learner. The REAL WORLD EXAMPLES which are included are excellent activity-centered units which bo! th summarize previous information and introduce new concepts. There is a good balance between information and application in this book. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
