5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased Purchaser, July 13, 2007

By	JMB - See all my reviews

Very user friendly. Much easier to use than the manual that was provided for Word 2007. A great book to browse through to find capabilities that are available in Word 2007 that a user might not have even known were available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for scrapbookers!, October 5, 2008

By	jann "islander wannabe" (Dayton, OH) - See all my reviews

I am new to scrapbooking. I found the instructions in this book to be awesome. I had never even thought of using my computer to make greetings and embellishments, but using the WordArt makes it simple. I wouldn't have even thought of it if not for the great instructions and illustrations in this book. I use this book to make pamplets and filers as well, something I had never tried before. This book is great for those of us that didn't have computer education in school and need to get a quick "fix" on computer literacy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Teach Yourself Visually Word 2007, March 11, 2008

By	mamumann3 "Dort" (Quinter, Kansas United States) - See all my reviews

Apart from the attractive visual instructions, I found very little that was new information from the Word 2000 textbook that I started with ten years ago. This would be a great textbook for beginners.
