Mastering Word 97 (Mastering)

Rating:
Summary: Masfield gives a step by step approach to word.
Review: Mansfield gives the user the opportunity to follow steps easily. The book is easy to understand and follow. The author also provides instruction in the book that generally isn't found in Word manuals, like how to create a table of contents and how to create an index. This is a good reference Word book to keep around for when you cannot remember how to do something or for when you need to teach yourself a new skill.

Review: This book is extremely well written and covers just about every aspect of Word 97. It is a very large book, and the only gripe I have is that it doesn't really go in depth on anything. It covers the basics for everything from bolding text to Visual Basic for Applications, but has no real in-depth details.

I give it four stars because it does do a good job at covering so many different subjects with Word. But if you want more information on something in particular, go with a book specializing in certain subjects. This is primarily for beginners wanting to get to know Word and how to get around, not people who want to "Master" it.
