Book Description

0321247515 978-0321247513 September 30, 2004 1

You've got Microsoft Word, the powerful, top-selling word processing program. And you've got ideas for promoting yourself and/or your business. What you don't have is the know-how to use Word to create the custom documents you envision.

Here to help you use Word to quickly create professional-looking documents is this slim, focused volume by Word expert, Maria Langer. Rather than cover every last feature and option, she leads you along the quickest, easiest route to creating the documents you'll use most to make yourself--and your busines--shine. On these pages, you'll find large, colorful screen shots and clear, step-by-step instructions for creating a letterhead template, résumé, business cards, flyers, envelopes, and return address labels. As you follow along, using you own content to complete each project component, you'll learn how to enter and format text, insert and position graphics, add page borders, and use Word's built-in envelope and label tools. Best of all, you'll have the key documents you need to sell yourself or get your business off and running!

2.0 out of 5 stars Lots about Word, little about form, November 17, 2004
This review is from: Creating Resumes, Letters, Business Cards, and Flyers in Word: Visual QuickProject Guide (Paperback)
The title of this book is deceptive. You would think that it is about formatting resumes and other business documents, as the title would imply. But the book is really a very basic introduction to Word that walks you through the menus and dialogs. Business documents are created but little or not time is spent on the form of the documents. Which is sad because all too often the form of resumes speak more about the technical competency of the individual than the content of the resume itself.

The book covers Word from the basics of using the mouse through to creating, formatting, and printing documents. There is some relatively advanced coverage of templates, which is surprising in this context. But overall the book covers just the very basics of Word in a screenshot heavy step-by-step manner.

As long as you know that you are getting a short beginners guide to Word you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Book with a Terrible Title, June 3, 2006
This review is from: Creating Resumes, Letters, Business Cards, and Flyers in Word: Visual QuickProject Guide (Paperback)
This is a great book for Word beginners interested in learning how to create specific types of documents quickly. Lots of screen images in full color, cross-referenced to instructions. I bought this for my Mom so she could create documents for her home-based business. Now instead of calling me with questions, she just looks in the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good help for resumes, April 14, 2007
By 
Linda A (Micanopy, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Resumes, Letters, Business Cards, and Flyers in Word: Visual QuickProject Guide (Paperback)
The book suggests using indents and tabs to make a resume. Using tabs would make things bump around strangely if you edit or change font. No mention of using a table and turning off the lines to make placing text and editing easy. Resume they do make is not a great-looking document, and has (for my field) awkward formatting (like the year buried at the end of the line). No mention of Word's online resume templates. I'd hoped to have this book as a reference for students, but the suggestions in here are things I'd tell them NOT to do. Skip this book. Get a good book on using Word, and Robin Williams excellent book on graphic design tips, "The Non-Designer's Design Book".
