This review is from: Word 98 for Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)
This is a convenient, nicely-sized reference book, not to be read but consulted from time to time. But after paging through it, I'm thinking of sending it back in exchange for the frequently humorous and reassuring "voice" provided by the "Dummies" series. My main disappointment is that the author provided so little information on the formatting of a research paper. For example, how can I make the bibliography appear after, rather than before, the endnotes that the program has converted from footnotes? How can I have the program create the bibliography while I'm typing my text and citations? How can I create an index of key words while I'm composing my ideas? If you wish to learn how to put "borders" on your text or to insert a "movie," this book will do fine. But if you plan to write a book with documentation, a doctoral dissertation, a master's thesis, or even an ordinary 8-page term paper (are these really such specialized uses of Microsoft Word?), you may wish to look elsewhere.
