Special Edition Using Microsoft Word 2000

If you know your way around the block with Microsoft Word but want to learn more, Special Edition: Using Microsoft Word 2000 is the Word reference for you. It takes you deep inside the workings of Microsoft's premier word processing program, showing you how to exploit its strengths and avoid its weaknesses while creating sharp-looking documents as efficiently as possible. You might not learn to "manually kern individual letter-pairs" in any other manual, but it's laid out plain and simple on page 83 of Special Edition.

There's lots more: Web page production, integration with Office 2000, and even Visual Basic for Applications all get detailed coverage--author Bill Camarda obviously knows his business and has left no stone unturned in his quest for document perfection. He pulls no punches when it comes to Word 2000's shortcomings either--he'll let you know what to expect and how to avoid problems in HTML conversion as well as other critical areas.

The CD-ROM accompanying this book is a great help with the searchable text of the entire Special Edition: Using Microsoft Word 2000. You will also find selected material from other Special Editions books on the companion CD-ROM, including Woody's Office Power Pack (a set of fabulous Office 2000 utilities) and plenty of third-party software like Microsoft Camcorder, additional Word templates, and clip art. If you don't find new ways to improve your documents here, it's time to write your own book. --Rob Lightner
