Amazon.com Review

In Word 97 Bible, Heslop and Angell introduce readers to essential Word 97 tasks such as editing and formatting documents using styles, templates, AutoFormat, tables, OLE, and wizards. You can learn how to create graphics, charts, and links to other applications. There's also an explanation of Word as a Web tool, with a thorough appendix on the HTML tags the software supports and instructions on adding forms to, and publishing, your Web pages.

The book's coverage of Word's features for managing long documents and collaborating with co-workers is particularly strong. Heslop and Angell cover WordMail, revisions, versions, cross-references, tables of contents, indexes, outlines, and more. They discuss how to use Word's mail merge feature to create form letters, envelopes, and catalogs. The book also teaches you how to customize Word with and without coding, whether you're customizing menus and writing simple macros or working with macros, forms, field codes, and Visual Basic for Applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Word 97 Bible by Heslop & Angell, May 1, 2000

This review is from: Word 97 Bible (Paperback)

A copy of this book belongs in every office still using the MS Office 97 Suite. This is an exhaustive reference of all the minutae, written in plain English, not Microsoftese. A thousand page combination of background information and simple recipe-style directions for the accomplishment of specific tasks. From IDG, who bring you the "Dummies" series, this is "Word for Non-Dummies", and just as easy to read.
