I brought this book about a week ago as like many others I transferred from office 2002 to find it had all completely change and I didn't know where anything was. The book is designed to lead you step by step through all the tasks you are most likely to need in Word. However each chapter is self contained so it's quite easy to skip to the parts you want. You also get a cd with the practice files on it required for the exercises; however it wasn't as easy to install as it said it was and I had to locate the files manually to get it to run. The exercises are quite detailed and there are illustrations along the way to help you but you can still make mistakes. The authors are American so again language can be a difficulty for example they don't say full stop they say a period. Oh course I read "press the F3 key and then type a period" which I did, not press F3 and then type a full stop, which they meant. Also on chapter 3 the instructions for putting tab stops on the ruler are all in inches. I couldn't find inches on my version, mine are all in cms. Had a look on Microsoft knowledge base and apparently you can't change them to inches the rulers are displayed in cms. So again you just have to convert the measurements in your head or guess. With the flaws I would still recommend this book as it has taught me where everything is and I'm already finding it so much easier to work in the 07 version of word. With that said I'm sure there are easier books then this one that can teach you what you want to know, so I would suggest having a look round first.
I bought this book few weeks ago. I think this book is the best option for those who really want to get good practical skills in Word and the chapters are very well composed and structured so you can easy understand what is this all about. I would recommend this book not only for people who have experience working with Word but also for beginners.
Now I may be an old fashioned fuddy-duddy/geek - call me what you will - but when the IT department replaced my Office 2003 with the 2007 edition, I had a quiet fit.
Everything is difficult if not impossible to find, a lot of the more technical functions have disappeared or are so difficult to find that it is hardly worth it and the 3 options for colour schemes are for those with 20/20 vision or who are on acid. The new version of the program seems to have been designed for American children
What better than a detailed manual to help me through. In any event, I had hoped that this tome would help me through this disaster.
It didn't. I am sure that the book will be helpful for those who absolutely must or want to have 2007, but for me it seemed to highlight the superiority of previous versions of this Microsoft monopoly
In any event, the book is now a prop to raise my monitor, and I have managed to find my old 2003 Office disc and re-install it.
