Book Reviews of Word 2007 For Dummies
Book Review: Good Summary of What's new and How Word Works
Summary: 5 Stars
I suppose that you'd be inteested in this book for one of two reasons.
First, you're a newcommer to Word and want to be hand held from the beginning to get started. I suppose that there must be at least a few people out there who don't know Word - Well, my mother doesn't, but she's not likely to read this book anyway.
Second, and I suspect most of us fit into this category, we've been using Word for a lot of years, but at a fairly rudimentary level. We do memos and paper, maybe we even write a book. We don't do anything very fancy, just word processing.
Now though, there's a new version of Word - Word 2007. It is worth spending the bucks on? What does it have that I might find useful? And I don't want to just see the Microsoft hype, I want a bit more than that. So here for twenty bucks or so is not only a description of what's new, but how to use it.
As best I can tell, the biggest change in Word 2007 in in its user interface. There's a new look on the screen called the ribbon. This seems to replace all the various toolbars and the like from previous versions with a new layout that puts the bulk of the Word commands you use only one click away. (The existing File button is replaced by an 'Office' button.) Furthermore, the Ribbon appears to be a dynamic thing. As you are doing something different, for example charting, a different set of frequently used commands appear in the Ribbon.
The formatting and fonts area is changed a bunch. The Help area is redone somewhat supposedly to make it easier.
There are the usual Rick Tennant cartoons. My favorite is the lady being forced by airport secutity to remove the bullets from her Word document.
