1.0 out of 5 stars Really dumb, August 29, 2007
I'm a big fan of the Dummies series; the information is usually complete and explained well. The Word 2007 volume, however, is nothing but fluff. The writer explains the features of Word 2007 by using words like "thing" and "stuff". The banter is usually tolerable (or easy to skip over) in the Dummies series, but this book has so much of it that it's no surprise there is no room for explaining new features such as the new interface, particularly the ribbon. The writer says the ribbon can't be modified. That's not true. Reading this book is like eating cotton candy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless unless you're a novice to word processing., March 7, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I read this book cover to cover with the heavy use of a highlighter. I can only conclude the author is seriously unfamiliar with the featured product. Microsoft puffs the idea of the new "ribbon" approach to Word which the author all but ignors apart from a brief mention. The idea of adding PDF and XPS features gets less than cursory mention. Use the new Microsoft Upgrade to publish Blogs and Webpages directly? The author discourages this practice and recommends using a seperate software program. Therefore; if the author all but ignores the new features of this program, is it not fair to conclude he simply did a cut and paste from one of his previous "Dummy Books"? There is absolutely nothing in this book you couldn't know from having used "Microsoft Word 97". Don't waste your money or highlighter efforts on this worthless tomb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ease of use, June 12, 2007
By Earle W. Ford "Baldie" (Oceanside, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have had to use Word for dummies at least a dozen times and there does not seem to be question that the book can not answer.
The index in the rear of the book is very easy to use.
I have four dummies books that I use.
I am very happy with allof them.
