Excellent Training for Beginners

This is a deceptively short (229 pages), remarkably rigorous and in-depth introduction to many of Word 2002's basic features. It gives you hands on examples of how to use these features and guides you through your first experience in doing them yourself. It forces you to explore different ways of accomplishing the same task so that you will have them in your arsenal when you are on your own. Upon completing this book, you will have learned, in short order, many essential business features of Word 2002. You will not be an expert in them, but you will be ready to take on meaty assignments with the software. Cosmetically, this book is sound as well. The pages are larger than your general computer book, the print is larger and easier to read, the graphics, while not full screen size, are large and clear enough so you can clearly see what they are referring to, and whenever they instruct you to click on an icon, a picture of it is featured in the outside margin next to the sentence making it very easy to find it on the screen itself. Finally, there are tasty little tidbits in the footnotes throughout the book. Unnecessary to read for the training exercises, they explore features beyond what is covered in the book itself giving you room to develop your skills on your own with your own examples. All in all an excellent introductory training manual that will get you up to speed in no time at all.
