About this title

Review

This in-depth guide to using Word 97 starts off by covering basic features such as Print Preview, templates, wizards, and editing tools, including AutoText, AutoCorrect, hyphenation, and OLE. However, the bulk of the book concentrates on advanced features. The explanations on creating mail merges and selecting data sources for those mail merges are particularly well done. If you work with long documents, you'll benefit from the details on using Word's cross-reference, table of contents, index, and master-document features. The chapters on graphics cover pictures, text boxes, Word's drawing tools, and how to create text with special effects.

Special Edition Using Microsoft Word 97 gives you a lot of information on publishing documents to a Web server and using Word's built-in Web-page tools, such as text manipulation and background and graphics creation. The book also explains Word's field codes in great detail; you even get a reference of these codes and a thorough demonstration of creating forms using fields. Person discusses the tasks of using math and equations in documents, creating macros and using Visual Basic for Applications for those macros, and working with other Office applications such as Excel. An appendix lists services and resources for using Word, including URLs for getting support and free Word add-ins.
