Product Description
Microsoft Word has grown considerably in power, sophistication and capability over the past decade, but one thing that hasn't changed since the early '90s is its user interface. The simple toolbar in version 2.0 has been packed with so many features since then that few users know where to find them all. Consequently, more and more people are looking for "insider" tips that will allow them to use these advanced and often hidden features. Microsoft has addressed this problem in Word 2007 by radically redesigning the user interface with a tabbed toolbar that makes every feature easy to locate and use. Unfortunately, Microsoft's documentation is as scant as ever, so even though you will be able to find advanced features, you might not know what to do with them. Word 2007: The Missing Manual, written specifically for this version of the software, explains basics like how to create documents, enter and edit text, format, print, and fax. You will will also learn how to create sophisticated page layouts, insert forms and tables, use graphics, and create book-length documents with outlines and Master Documents. Coverage also includes how to share documents with other people and programs, create web pages, automate documents with fields, and automate tasks with macros and the Visual Basic scripting language. This book shows you how to do it all.

The reviews in Amazon were glowing, but, even as a reasonably experienced user of previous Word programs, I found this book not to be helpful for "routine" word processing skills, and worthless for those moving data files to the new Word 2007 format. You would think that an author would clearly describe the steps needed to transfer Word data files from XP to Vista, since that's the base of computer users.

This manual has answered most of the questions that I have had when using the latest version of Word. The one specific question that I had was how to change the tabs in the template box. I could not find this in the manual but all other questions that I have had have been answered. The manual was well worth the money spent.
An Excellent Missing Manual December 18, 2007

I am about half way through this book. I am reading and practicing what I have read on my PC. So, it is taking time. I have learned a lot from Chris Glover's Word 2007 the Missing Manual. I would recommend this to anyone who is faced with having to work with Word 2007. It is about 300 to 400 pages shorter than Que's tomb on the subject so if you need something that explains all those things that the average user never uses, then go for that book. Meanwhile, this book gives you just what you need to become an intermediate user.
 Word 2007 - The Manual's No Longer Missing! July 18, 2007

Word 2007: The Missing Manual
This is right on the money! A very readable, very informative book written by someone who knows their subject - and has a dry sense of humour to boot. Well done Chris Grover! However you approach it, it's equally good: you can use it as a reference manual, skim through to pick up the bits you want (helped by the top-of-the-page index tabs), or just read it cover to cover as I did. There must be countless people like me that use Word every day and are unaware of most of the fantastic things Word can do for you. Word 2007 is a huge step forward from previous editions and has some major differences in how you get things done. This is the perfect opportunity to find out.
Perfect Reference For Word 2007 July 11, 2007

'Word 2007: The Missing Manual' by Chris Grover is another gem in the 'Missing Manual' series, a line that continues to impress and surprise me with how strong the quality of these books are and how affordable. Clocking in at 500+ pages and 19 chapters, this book is the perfect desktop reference to have at your side if you use Word 2007 for work, play, or just want to see what the new features, tips, and tricks are in the latest version of one of the flagship Microsoft products. Full of screenshots and fantastic writing, this book breaks content down at just the right places and is written in a way that anyone can understand!
From learning to use the new ribbon interface to the basics of word to higher level tasks such as writing macros and working with Visual Basic to put some code behind the scenes, this is a must buy for anyone that works with Word on a daily basis.
I've said it before, I'll probably say it again... the Missing Manual does it AGAIN!!!
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
