Summary: 3 Stars
It doesn't answer the nasty pagination problem I encountered. Word would stop numbering pages after a couple in a file, go back to the previous page and renumber it incorrectly, then not number the ones after it consecutively just keep placing the same number on each page, etc. There appears to be no way to number pages except in headers or footers either, as far as WORD FOR DUMMIES indicates, as best I can tell. There were one or two other places WORD FOR DUMMIES turned out to be clueless, too; but it's better than nada. Word is vastly inferior word processing software. WordPerfect is much better. Writers I know despise Word, and curse having to use it because publishing adopted it as the standard for submissions. It is a shame it was adopted so widely, apparently by executives in companies who were sold a bill of goods about it by Microsoft, when they would never have to actually use it. Pretty typical executive behavior--making decisions about various office systems their underlings will have to use without actual facts.
Book Review: Not for the Technologically Challenged
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased a few of the "Dummy" books to help me navigate through Microsoft programs. As part of the older generation, I have not learned all the shortcuts and tricks that make the software useful. About half of the time, I am able to find the process for the task I am trying to accomplish or fix a problem using the book. However, the index is not cross referenced enough to be able to locate solutions. I think you are better off paying the extra money and buying the reference book.Book Review: It Helps to Know the Lingo
Summary: 3 Stars
I just switched to Word 2007. I found that the terms for commands had changed so that I had to read the whole book in order to find what I wanted because I could not always find the term I was familiar with in the index. The book does cover most of what is needed in order to use Word 2007. I can't fault the writers for the changes that Microsoft made in their belief that they were making the program simpler to use.
