Summary: WORD 2007
Comment: Word 2007 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
Just another dummy book. This one is okay I guess, but not as good as the others that I have read. Too much of the goofy stuff that is really not needed, even for dummies......unless you are really into goofy reading material. I like a little humor in anything, but less would have been more in this one!

Summary: BEST COMPUTER BOOK AUTHOR IN THE WORLD
Comment: This is such a great book. You really can be a dummy and you will still learn everything you need to know about WORD. Ditto for Dan Gookin's book on PCs for Dummies. Mr. Gookin's books are extremely well organized and excellently written, but the thing I love most about them is the humor. They really are funny and that is a big boon to the reader, especially one who dreads dry instruction. I read this book cover to cover and it has saved me hours of pain at the computer.

Summary: It Helps to Know the Lingo
Comment: I just switched to Word 2007. I found that the terms for commands had changed so that I had to read the whole book in order to find what I wanted because I could not always find the term I was familiar with in the index. The book does cover most of what is needed in order to use Word 2007. I can't fault the writers for the changes that Microsoft made in their belief that they were making the program simpler to use.

Summary: Some Help
Comment: It doesn't answer the nasty pagination problem I encountered. Word would stop numbering pages after a couple in a file, go back to the previous page and renumber it incorrectly, then not number the ones after it consecutively just keep placing the same number on each page, etc. There appears to be no way to number pages except in headers or footers either, as far as WORD FOR DUMMIES indicates, as best I can tell. There were one or two other places WORD FOR DUMMIES turned out to be clueless, too; but it's better than nada. Word is vastly inferior word processing software. WordPerfect is much better. Writers I know despise Word, and curse having to use it because publishing adopted it as the standard for submissions. It is a shame it was adopted so widely, apparently by executives in companies who were sold a bill of goods about it by Microsoft, when they would never have to actually use it. Pretty typical executive behavior--making decisions about various office systems their underlings will have to use without actual facts.
