Book Reviews of Microsoft® Office Word 2007 Inside Out

Book Review: What do you want to know (really, really know) about Word 2007?
Summary: 5 Stars

What do you want to know about Word 2007?

If all you want to know is how to click the buttons on the new fluent ribbon interface, then any book on Word 2007 will probably meet your needs. In that case, I recommend whichever book will look nicest sitting next to the other books on your bookshelf.

If you want to know how styles and themes work (and how to exploit them), or when to customize document defaults on the one hand and when to customize a style or a theme on the other, then how a book looks next to your other books probably isn't a matter of grave concern to you. In that case, I recommend Microsoft Office Word 2007 Inside Out.

This is a book that is extremely task-oriented, by which I mean that nearly every single section of every single chapter discusses how to DO something. Yet the book doesn't just tell you what to do, it tells you how Word works so that you can continue to put Word to work for you long after you put the book down. (Background information and special tips are presented as sidebars so that you can focus on the steps of a procedure when that's all you're interested in.)

The book is extremely comprehensive. I've worked with Word since 1985, yet I gained important new insights into the program within minutes of picking it up. The authors have been working with Word for many years, too, and this has enabled them to offer helpful notes and tips for users transitioning from earlier versions of Word to Word 2007. For readers completely new to Word, the book's discussion of foundational concepts such as paragraphs, tables, and sections, and global and attached templates (user and workgroup) will prove revelatory.

Some software books read like a catalog of features, but this one is organized around the small, medium, and large tasks associated with creation of documents. This approach has two advantages: 1)the major divisions of the table of contents let you turn instantly to the part of the book where the information you need can be found, and 2)as you're reading about, say, controlling text placement with textboxes, you'll find closely related subjects nearby.

The book is just as authoritative as it is comprehensive. In addition to reflecting the long, varied experiences of the authors, it offers special, difficult-if-not-impossible-to-find information gleaned from senior program managers on the Word development team. The book's companion CD, with its searchable ebook version of the content, is well worth installing on your computer for quick access while you're working.
