This single-volume paperback is packed with so much information! Did you know, for instance, that Microsoft Word 2007 contains the built-in capability of converting a document into the .pdf format? Or that you can use readability statistics to determine what grade level your writing is at?

Microsoft Word 2007 can be used to create flyers. Instructions are given for producing color headlines, various heading formats, theme colors, and picture borders.

There are options for using predefined text and graphical elements, and there are instructions for the production of such things as research papers, tables, form letters, mailing labels, and directories. You can also make use of cover-letter and resume templates. Macros can be custom-made to "automate" a repeated task. Instructions are even given for the creation of a blog post.

The book is profusely illustrated. It contains many screen sketches that show what the scroll-down tabs, and computer screen, look like during the operations that are discussed. An extensive index is also available.

I needed some vocational rehab as I am trying to overcome Chemo Brain. So, I bought this well written easy to follow, step by step process to learn MOW2007. Some of the labs require access to files that need additional software to complete. However, You can do the exercises without the files and learn so much more without them. I am pleased with the things that I am still learning and appreciate the quick access index at the back of the book.

After installing Word 2007 for the first time, I absolutely hated it. I uninstalled it and set it aside. More recently I became aware of some advantages to the totally revamped, unintuitive version of Word 2007. The Shelly Cashman book is an excellent tutorial with cookbook exercises that clarify the functionality. Lessons are spelled out in detail and require no help. Now if I can just remember what's where, I am good to go!
