5.0 out of 5 stars Sooo useful! Not only for transcriptionists, July 13, 2007

I haven't even begun to go through the vast amount of helpful information in this book. Everything you ever wanted to know about Word but didn't know where to ask. I have already implemented many of the tips in my office job (which has nothing to do with transcription) and have improved the speed of my work -- more time for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will pay for itself quickly!, December 8, 2007

By	M. Burke (Norwalk, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've used Word occasionally over the years, but I've always been more of a WordPerfect girl. I recently started using Word full time for all my transcription work and I really needed to learn some shortcuts. I only had the book open for about two minutes before exclaiming, "This is going to save me soooo much time!" Even if you know Word inside-out, you'll probably still find some time-saving tips you hadn't thought of before.
