A quick reference for writers, editors, and others who are already familiar with the basics of some word processing program (not necessarily Microsoft Word), and who need to use some of Word's more advanced features. This book contains 120 pages of tips and tricks for writing, editing, and publishing professional and technical documents using Microsoft Word 2002 (part of Office XP) on Windows.
Why another book about Microsoft Word?
Available books fall into three main groups: thin books for beginners, fat books for beginners-to-intermediate users, and huge books -- up to 1,500 pages! -- for intermediate-to-advanced users.
