Book Description

Step by Step (Microsoft) May 7, 1999

MICROSOFT WORD 2000 STEP BY STEP is the easiest and fastest way to teach yourself to use the latest version of Microsoft’s bestselling word processor. Work through every lesson to complete the full course, or do individual lessons to learn just the skills you need. Either way, you learn at your optimum pace from the teacher who knows you best—you.

With this book and Microsoft Word 2000, you’ll learn to:

  • Get started with Word 2000—navigate the Word menu and use toolbar buttons to simplify your work; cut, copy, paste, and format your text; change fonts, font sizes, and font effects, and add borders, bullets, and shading—all with a few clicks of the toolbar buttons!
  • Increase editing skills—enhance the organization and design of your documents; automate tasks using advanced features; use themes and create styles to change the look of all or part of your documents; use templates and electronic forms to streamline and standardize your work.
  • Develop advanced editing techniques—track document changes; add and edit comments; save and compare versions; apply password protection to documents; use the Outline view and master documents to organize your own documents; create form letters and envelopes with the mail merge tool; lay out a complex newsletter.
  • Use Web tools—design and publish simple and advanced Web pages; save and edit documents in HTML format and import data to a Web page.

This book is approved courseware for the Microsoft Office Specialist Program.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Microsoft Word 2000 has great potential, but it's only as powerful as its user. If you want a tutorial that will help you make the best of your documents, look to Microsoft Word 2000 Step by Step. Catapult, Inc., has teamed up with Microsoft Press to present 16 in-depth lessons covering installation and basic document handling, advanced editing, Web page production, and collaboration.

Each well-organized lesson summarizes key points, estimates the length of time needed for mastery, and highlights each feature for easy reference. Screenshots help the visually-oriented, and the multimedia examples on the CD-ROM show all the steps necessary for more complex functions, like inserting hyperlinks.

Though it's not intended as a reference, Step by Step will work well in a pinch or for the basic user. Between the index, table of contents, and QuickLook visual guide, you should find the instructions you need quickly and painlessly. While it's not quite comprehensive, and power users might sneer at its simplicity, it addresses all of the standard Word 2000 tasks a user needs to create great-looking documents at home or in the office. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tutorial On Word 2000, June 1, 2000
This review is from: Microsoft® Word 2000 Step by Step (Step by Step (Microsoft)) (Paperback)
If you are looking for an excellent overall tutorial on Word 2000, you have come to the right place.

As with most of the other Microsoft Press "Step By Step" books, this one really delivers. The most important aspect of these books is their intuitive and well-documented exercises. You can literally teach yourself by just doing the exercises provided in each section. Other books are more appropriate if you want a reference, but this is the book to use for a tutorial.

I have been teaching with these books for almost two years, and my students love them. Many of our sessions are self-paced, and the students are easily able work through the exercises on their own with little intervention.

One downside to this particular book is the number of typos and overall errors. We have found more than is usual for this series of books.

Overall, another excellent book from Microsoft.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lacking in details....bigtime!, November 14, 2000

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft® Word 2000 Step by Step (Step by Step (Microsoft)) (Paperback)
This book (being returned to Amazon) has less information on the fine points of creating personal preferences than does the application's built in help menu. It assumes that every user had just come from the previous version of Word. Coming from Word 5.1a (Macintosh) I might as well have been arriving from Mars. The book lacks essential detail of each operation in which I was interested. A new user would do best to stay away from both this book and Word and opt for a simpler program.

I purchased the book hoping for detailed information of things like how to create stylized envelope return addresses in default, kerning, and other features. Kerning is not listed in the index or anywhere else in the book. This is one reason why I upgraded from an older Word and this book doesn't even mention that feature at all? It was so lacking that I needed a $7.00 phone call to Miscrosoft support just to learn how to save a styled envelope.

I'd pass on this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars An MOUS Authorised Instructor from Nigeria, June 2, 2000
By 
Mrs. Oa Afolabi "bunmi" (15B Joseph Street, Off Broad Street Nigeria) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Microsoft® Word 2000 Step by Step (Step by Step (Microsoft)) (Paperback)
The book provides an excellent treatment for both new users and those upgrading from Word 97. It covers all neccesary topics without going into unneccessary detail. The only thing missing is the MOUS approved courseware logo which we hope should be put on it.

I recommend it to anyone wising to get up to speed quickly on Word 2000. keep up the good work!
