Creating Resumes, Letters, Business Cards, and Flyers in Word : Visual QuickProject Guide (Visual Quickproject Series)

Rating:
Summary: Lots about Word, little about form
Review: The title of this book is deceptive. You would think that it is about formatting resumes and other business documents, as the title would imply. But the book is really a very basic introduction to Word that walks you through the menus and dialogs. Business documents are created but little or not time is spent on the form of the documents. Which is sad because all too often the form of resumes speak more about the technical competency of the individual than the content of the resume itself.

The book covers Word from the basics of using the mouse through to creating, formatting, and printing documents. There is some relatively advanced coverage of templates, which is surprising in this context. But overall the book covers just the very basics of Word in a screenshot heavy step-by-step manner.

As long as you know that you are getting a short beginners guide to Word you won't be disappointed.
