 Can I give it six stars? February 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm in love! I bought digital access to this book as well as ordering a copy. The day after ordering it, I was able to clean up some serious formatting messes after reading the chapter about styles online. "Using Word 2007" gives clear descriptions of how to use the basic and advanced features, including things like the Style Inspector that Microsoft seems to avoid telling you about in the Help files. It also explains the good and bad points of different options - for example, warning you that if you set a style to Automatically Update and then make a minor formatting change to the text in one location (e.g. applying italics), ALL examples of the style will change to italics whether you want that or not.
If you are forced to work with Word 2007, or support people who have to work with it, you need this book.

Lives Up to the Hype... August 30, 2007

On the cover of this book that is as thick as the Yellow Pages of a fair-sized city it says: THE ONLY WORD 2007 BOOK YOU NEED. I believe it. I am a beginner with Microsoft Word and needed something that was comprehensive but didn't pass over the basics and assume that I was born already working in Word.
My experience with Word started with the 2007 Beta version. Microsoft Office had tutorials online which got me started, but they were pretty rudimentary. They explained about the new Ribbon and its usefulness and how to do basic commands using the Ribbon interface. The one strength of their tutorials for a beginner was that you actually downloaded a pre-formatted template and then they took you through the steps about how to change things and build in the basic format they provided. If you need something like that then this book is not for you. In other words, there is no hand holding here.
To me this is a good thing. Sure it's harder when it's not spoon-fed to you and you have to do your own thinking, but with something as complicated and multi-faceted as Word 2007 you better be able to fend for yourself. Not that the book leaves stuff out -- not by any means. It just explains all the functions as best as they can be explained and it is up to you to work with the features after they are shown to you. If it shows you how to make a table for example, it shows you what to do but leaves the doing and creating totally up to you. It's for grown-ups. LOL
Microsoft's Office Word 2007 is a powerful tool and has gazillions of features. It took a book this size to cover and explain them all, and it looks like the author succeeded.
 Using Microsoft Office Word 2007 August 24, 2007

I was reared on a N0 2 pencil and a fountain pen, at 83 years, I know next to nothing about computers, and word processing. Without Faithe Wempen's book "Using ord 2007" I would be totally lost, and would be unable to use Word 2007 effectively. With the clear step by step instructions and tips in this volume, I find not only can I use Word 2007, but I actually enjoy doing things which I never dreamed possible. I highly recommend "Using Microsoft Office ord 2007" to WWII survivors, and other elderly people who wish to communicate by Word 2007. It's amazing what one can do with this book as a guide.
Advanced Word Processing July 16, 2007

After twenty-seven years of machine processing of words -- I certainly don't need a book to regurgitate the basics. This one does just that -- of course -- but it also has the best coverage of all the advanced feastures -- such as references, indexing, collaboration, etc. No computer reference book survives for more than a year or two -- a book needs to be outstanding to be worth the investment. This one is worth it.
