I've been a professional writer for thirty years. For part of that time, Word was my main writing tool, although most of the time I've used one DTP authoring tool or another, or authored in HTML or XML. I'm no stranger to Word.

I found several things in this book I didn't know I could do. More often, I found things I knew I could do but have forgotten how to do or the way to do it has changed,. And of course, there are discussions of things that might be interesting, but they're not features I use. Still, it's nice to be reminded they are there.

Sometimes I wanted more or less detail, which is to be expected, and at times the For Dummies style is too cute and gets in the way when I just want to find quick info. But it's a For Dummies book, so I knew what I was getting. Most of the time, though, the tone of this book is appropriate.

I skimmed the parts that are less interesting to me so I'd know what's there if I need it, and carefully read the sections that are most helpful to me right now. I expect to go back to this book often as a reference

If you're an experience Word user who wants to go deeper into the program's features, this book is a great deal at the price. It's hard t imagine anybody not finding something here that makes the book worth its low price.
