Step by Step - Office Word 2007,
By Hidden Dragon (China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Office Word 2007 Step by Step (Paperback)
This book is another in a series of books by excellent authors contracted to write for Microsoft. It is a good example of technical writing that could be used as a demonstration at any college of technical communication. Its useability rating is at a high level, in my opinion. The only, important drawback, is the hidden fact that it is designed for use with the new Vista operating system. Yes, there is a note in the introduction that warns XP users that; 'Most of the differences . . . center around appearance rather than functionality.' But this means, generally, that for XP users, it is a book without many illustrations . . . which caused the loss of two stars.

Comprehensive Review,
This review is from: Microsoft Office Word 2007 Step by Step (Paperback)
We use so many computer programs but we hardly use all of their features. I taught myself how to use Word when I made a computer change many years ago but I have probably only used 10% of all the wonderful features, such as tables, theme colors, linking with Excel etc. that Word has to offer. "Step By Step" offered a good comprehensive view of the features as well as some practice files to help one to remember how to use these features. I am helping a volunteer organization with scheduling. Now I feel confident that I can produce a dynamic and impressive schedule for the club.

Great - Especially when an Upgrade,
By JoannieH - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microsoft Office Word 2007 Step by Step (Paperback)
As a Word user for a long time, the 2007 version looks much different. This book really helped me track the changes. I'm also helping some new users to Word and they thought it very easy to follow. They liked the CD with practice data for the work sessions. 'Microsoft Office Word 2007 Plain & Simple' is another book that is great for raw beginners, this would be a good follow-up. It's much more complete and goes into diagrams, charts, table of contents, index, mail merge, reviewing, email, and the Web. Will get to XML later. Well worth the $16.50!

Series needs better proofing,
By Bobby W. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microsoft Office Word 2007 Step by Step (Paperback)
I was attracted to this title because the I liked the concept of working through the examples in the book in tandem with the sample files on the accompanying CD.This title is one of a series of "Step by Step" books published by Microsoft Press for the various 2007 Microsoft Office System applications (I bought both this and the Excel book). The books are good, but there are a surprising number of errors in the printed content. For example, on page 12 of the Word book, the table listing keyboard shortcuts for moving the insertion point indicates pressing Ctrl + End to move the insertion point to the beginning of the document (the Excel book has tons of errors). Given who published these books, and the target audience, you'd think they would have been bullet-proofed. 41 of 45 people found the following review helpful

Save Your Money,
By Barrie W. Bracken "Researcher" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft Office Word 2007 Step by Step (Paperback)
One reviewer has said you would think that Microsoft would spend more money and time on protecting is manual and this shows. I totally agree. If you want to learn how to use Microsoft word 2007 I would suggest you look for a different kind of manual.This book depends entirely upon your using the so-called practice files on the CD. If these practice files don't show you what you need to know, you're out of luck. Let's take a look at some examples of how the book works: The instructions for sending a fax are included in a text box about 3 x 5 inches and tell you virtually nothing about how to send a fax. Instructions for adding bookmarks and cross-references occupied four pages of text and the only instruction really useful is found in a text box consisting of three sentences. Instructions for creating and printing labels is covered in four pages of the text and refers you to the different elements of the practice files on the CD. Hopefully the files will show you everything you need to know because the text tells you nothing. Chapter 6 "instructs" you on working with graphics symbols and equations. Of course it only tells you how to use the practice files. This book takes up a lot of wasted space in your bookcase. In the interest in conserving both space and money you might want to consider purchasing a teaching disk. These are normally pretty useless things, but no more so than this Microsoft text. I give it one star because it does look impressive sitting on your shelf. |
