3.0 out of 5 stars Great for a basic overview, March 30, 2009

By	Gary Winkler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The methods presented are good. I dinged it two stars for two reasons: First, the term "word wrap" is not used; instead the term "auto return" is used. Standard educational textbooks and curriculum along with certification tests do not recognize the term "auto return" but "word wrap" instead. The other thing is the zoom is too large. It was difficult to watch follow along because you had a hard time finding the button.

with that said, I want to join the author in saying this would be great tool for use in the classroom as an introduction to Word 2007. He does very well at transferring the concepts of the old "tool bars and menus" to the "ribbons, tabs, and groups".

5.0 out of 5 stars a computer class you can watch on your TV!, November 11, 2008

By	Help for the Computer Shy "www.computershy.com" (Brunswick, Maine) - See all my reviews

This computer help DVD was created by an experienced computer technologies instructor (me).

'Introduction to Microsoft Office Word 2007' is intended for computer shy folks of all ages but the Windows Vista Survival Guide (or Windows XP Basics ) is a recommended prerequisite. Both are available here on Amazon.com.

Basic word processing skills such as creating & formatting documents, spell-checking, adjusting margins, creating bulleted lists and inserting images & clip art are carefully described and demonstrated.

This DVD comes with full public performance rights and is ideal for classroom instruction.
