The hilarious thing about this book is that if you open up the PDF copy on the accompanying CD-ROM, you'll see that the book was authored not in Microsoft Word 2003, but in Adobe FrameMaker. This says it all, really. I did find the book useful, it's gets about 80% of the way to full coverage of all "power user" features, but the remaining 20% descends into a haze of marketing spin and handwaving. Close, but no cigar.

Tons of information but not well written or in-depth enough
13 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a fan of Microsoft Press's "Inside Out" series and own half a dozen books (or maybe more) from it. I bought this book to become an expert at Word 2003, but I found that while the book covers a lot of ground, it lacks depth on many topics. And it's writing style is quite confusing. For example, I tried to understand how to customize headers and footers by section, and after reading and re-reading the parts of the book that deal with this topic several times, I stil couldn't figure out. In the end, I just experimented on my own. Word is a complex piece of software. This book unfortunately does a poor job at making Word easier to learn, even for someone like myself who was already quite proficient with the software at the basic-intermediate level.

Good as a reference book, not a hands on learning guide
18 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
I just ordered this book to prepare me for the Microsoft certification exams. I've just flipped through it, but I don't think I'll be able to use it. It has very detailed sections on how to do things within Word, but I need more of a workbook. I expected the CD to contain exercises, but upon inspection it's just a PDF version of the book and some "extras." If you want a workbook version with exercises to do, I just purchased the PowerPoint version of the Step by Step series, and I think I'll have to order the Word version of that.
Great Book!

Whenever I have a question about creating a new type of Word document or an application that just doesn't seem to work I can normally find the answer here.
