 Very Useful For Experienced Users April 25, 2008
This book has been very useful as the transition to Word 2007 was undertaken. The folks at Microsoft took what many of us have used for 20+ years and shuffled all the commands around in almost random directions. Thus trying to print an envelope was a task, as was formatting numbering on section heads.
Unlike the big "fat" books, which go on forever, this book, and the others in the series, take the approach of visually showing you where the folks in Redmond hid the stuff you had used for decades. Thus you can use the index, go to the page, look at the picture and now you see where they hid table sorting, or adjusting the width of tables, or how to modify the table of contents so it included five sections and not three!
The books features are simple:
1. It has a good index, especially if you are an experienced office user
2. It explains simply and uses the picture, because all you want as an experienced user is to find the command the folks in Redmond so elegantly hid.
3. The material is collected in a logical format and you frequently come away with several added tips, and possibly some new insight
This book is a God send for the experienced user who does not want to read through dozens of pages of words, for the user who really knows what they want and how it works, just show mw where it is. Good Job!
 bad news October 27, 2007
The author makes some assumptions about you already having Windows Vista and says you can use the book with Windows XP but I found that awkward to say the least. I got another help book that is much better.
Thank you very much.

This book claims that it's a let's-git'er-done but it's not. It's more like a conversation with a knowledgeable person who refuses to tell you anything concrete for the most part and you're left with an awful taste in your mouth afterwards.
There are better books out there...Inside Out and Step by Step come to mind.

I don't know how this book got the good reviews it has received - - friends of the author? relatives? - - but it is terrible. It provides virtually no useful information for those of us struggling to go from previous Word versions to the truly different and extremely difficult Word 2007. You would think that is what this book would be about. It is not. Microsoft Office Word 2007 Plain & Simple may be plain and may be simple, but it is not informative.
