Description:
Microsoft Word is one of the largest, most powerful word processing applications on the market, and the 2000 version takes us several steps further in ease of use and interaction with other users. Mastering Word 2000: Premium Edition promises--and delivers--a lot for beginning and intermediate Word users: information on new features, instructions for perfecting documents, and basic coverage of advanced topics like automation and project management. While a Word tenderfoot might get lost, those used to the Windows environment and/or word processing should be able to navigate the book without trouble; each chapter builds on earlier material, and the indexing gets you to the page you need fairly quickly. One minor flaw is the dearth of screenshots--some sections are peppered liberally with them, while others are visual deserts. The CD-ROM includes plenty of trial software like Microsoft Project 98, as well as full versions of freeware and shareware that will help your document management immensely. If you're a quick learner and don't need to spend your every waking moment learning the finest intricacies of your word processor, you should consider Mastering Word 2000: Premium Edition essential for your desk library. --Rob Lightner
