Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Nelson's title is a great beginner's book for WordPerfect 8. It is project oriented and exceptionally well illustrated. In fact, with no overwhelming blocks of text telling what is more clearly and quickly shown to new users, the book almost looks like the text illustrates the images.

5.0 out of 5 stars WordPerfect 8 for Busy People by Elden Nelson, April 21, 2000

This review is from: Wordperfect 8 for Busy People: The Book to Use When There's No Time to Lose (Paperback)

Fantastic book! I take it with me wherever I go and just ordered 8 more for my computer MIS Section Leader Group. I teach WordPerfect 8.0 to my staff and found this book to be an invaluable tool. There is just so much to learn....this book has allowed me to take WordPerfect 8.0 wherever I go. The LARGE print, colors, and easy outlines let you understand a topic by simply glancing at the text and accompanying pictures or screens....And, each chapter has a "FAST FORWARD" describing the contents and very brief "How To's" so that you only need to refer to the chapter for minor details. If you're a WordPerfect 8.0 user, this is a must have! I never thought I would sit on a beach chair and read a technical book but the way this book was written and put together, it is actually enjoyable and fun! Do yourself a favor and get it!
