As school books go, this one was really awesome. I'm glad that I took this class and that I'm learning so much about Microsoft's new version of office. They changed just about everything imaginable in the 2010 version - so much so that when I first bought it, I couldn't find anything at all. Now that I've taken this college course and read this book and the others in the series, I know how to do so many really cool things with Microsoft Word that I didn't know how to do before. This book is a phenomenal resource for just about any option Word offers and even a novice user of Word could make a super cool document with lots of effects that make them look like a master user. I recommend to anyone with Microsoft Word 2010 who wants to learn more about all the functionality built into the program, because the options are intense!
