""Microsoft Press ""RM"" Computer User's Dictionary"", our entry into this thriving market, features a Field Guide sized trim (5 1/2 x 8 7/16), 400 pages, and approximately 3200 terms and 70 illustrations. Most terms will have shortened versions of the in-depth definitions featured in the Third Edition of the Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary, but will also feature the latest in computer terminology drawn from our quarterly online updates. The ""Microsoft Press Computer User's Dictionary"" is ideal for beginning to intermediate computer users at home, at the office, and in school. Like the Third Edition, the pocket edition features a more professional, traditional-dictionary format and layout -- including phonetic respellings, parts of speech, and definitions broken down into numbered lists where appropriate for easy reading. Regular quarterly updates will be made to the dictionary on the MSPress Web site to extend the shelf life of the book.

We're publishing this book in time for back-to-school promotions.

Review

This dictionary defines all the standard terms that the average computer user--whether using a computer at work or at home--will find useful. The terminology in the guide spans topics such as hardware, the Internet and World Wide Web, computer graphics, networking, storing and retrieving data, e-mail, modems, and more. Definitions list the part of speech, acronyms, and alternative names and direct you to cross-references if necessary. The alphabetically arranged tabs along the sides of the pages make it easy to search for the term of your choice. Microsoft keeps the dictionary current by posting online updates between printings. This is a solid reference book that should be on the desk of all publishing professionals working with computer copy. It is also helpful for regular users who want to understand what the functions are that they are using. --Cristina Vaamonde
