Good as a reference book, not a hands on learning guide
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...

Tons of information but not well written or in-depth enough
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.

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.

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.

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.

Great book if you want to learn Word 2003 (which many offices are still using) on your own. Colorful and eyecatching to keep your attention. It will even help you if Word 2007 is used where you work.

I found this book to be thorough & easy to understand. A great purchase that delivers all that I've come to expect from the "Inside Out" books! Love it and I use it often.

The book was incredibly detailed. I have been using Word for almost 20 years but I learned a lot of new things.
