A must have book for Word 2007 Users, By T Wolf (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Word 2007 (Paperback)
An outstanding book that delves deeply into the most advanced features of Microsoft Word 2007, including topics that lesser books often shy away from like fields, forms, OLE, master documents, XML, and security. If you want a book that will deliver serious in-depth technical content without insulting your intelligence, then this is the one.Since Word 2007 is such a departure from earlier versions, there's plenty of learning to be done even for us old-timers who have been using word processors since the dawn of computers. In a lot of cases, Word 2007 offers an entirely new feature for the 2007 file format, but also supports the earlier methods for backward compatibility. This book describes both the 2007 and the older features where applicable, so you don't have to keep a book for an earlier version handy to look things up. Case in point: fields. Word 2007 has a whole new set of fields, called content controls, that have some benefits over earlier field types, but they also... Read more

Complete and Well Organized, By
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Word 2007 (Paperback)
If you look at the page count on this book you'll see that it's one of these big all inclusive computer books. It's intended to tell you everything there is to know about Microsoft Word. And so far as I can tell, it's all there.But if you're already familiar with Word do you really want to plow through 1100+ pages of stuff, even if it's good stuff. If you're like me, you want to see what's different, what's new that looks like it will be helpful to me. The authors have arranged this book so that the experienced user need read only the first part to quickly get up to speed and start being productive. At the same time, all the rest of the information is there for when you need to find out about something you haven't done before. What's New in Word is a bunch. The biggest change is the user interface. Word (and the rest of the Office programs) now have what they call the Ribbon. This replaces the set of toolbars that used to be across the top of the...

Advanced Word Processing, By
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Word 2007 (Paperback)
After twenty-seven years of machine processing of words -- I certainly don't need a book to regurgitate the basics. This one does just that -- of course -- but it also has the best coverage of all the advanced feastures -- such as references, indexing, collaboration, etc. No computer reference book survives for more than a year or two -- a book needs to be outstanding to be worth the investment. This one is worth it.
