Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Teach Yourself Microsoft Word 2000 Visually is a class act among super-basic introductory books about Word 2000. If you want to learn how to perform critical documentation tasks but lack experience with the new version of Word, this book will teach you job-critical usage of the software.

Teach Yourself Microsoft Word 2000 Visually details all of Word's major features. The author opens with the procedure for starting Word, typing text into a document, and then saving that document to disk. From there, she proceeds to cover text formatting (fonts, alignment, and the like), editing tools (including spelling and grammar checkers), and helpful features like search and replace. Readers learn how to insert tables and pictures into their documents and how to print them. The author also demonstrates the use and creation of simple time-saving macros.

The book utilizes graphics liberally, though they are rarely gratuitous. With a combination of screen shots and custom graphics, the full-color illustrations convey concepts as well as procedures. The author even marks up her screen shots heavily, so it's always clear which parts of Word her comments refer to. --David Wall

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely perfect for the beginner--a must!, August 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Microsoft Word 2000 VISUALLY (Paperback)

This book cannot be overpraised. Through the use of step-by-step text and pictures, with expert use of colors, numbers, callouts, and what not, the book makes the learning process easy and pleasant. This is THE book for beginner--look no further! (Also the font size in the pictures is not so small that I have to use a magnifying glass, as I had to do with another publication of the same series). A MUST FOR THE BEGINNING WORD USER!
