I thought I was going back to my 1992 WordPerfect 5.1 summer computer camp with this guy’s obsession with “Keyboard shortcuts like control alternate shift whatever” that make up most of his tutorial. Anyone who wants to truly learn a Windows program for what we moved up to since then–icons and the like–and where they are “on the ribbon” and how to do what you want with using whatever icon one needs should skip any Windows tutorial book by this guy.

I love the ‘Bible’ series of computer program books. This was a real good buy and came in a short time. I’m very pleased with the results.

Many people were baffled when Microsoft Office 2007 was released because of the vast differences it had with Office 2003. For those using Microsoft Word this was especially the case. Herb Tyson’s book helps one make the switch. It is very easy to read. I highly recommend it!

The book is written well, and conveys a lot of the details of Word 2007. I am new to Word, and so everything is new to me, but this book does cover all the relevant topics. There are some attempts at jokes which slow the reading down, and probably add to some of the bulk of the book, but do not detract from it’s intended goal. One problem I did notice, which may be related to my older eyes, was that paper seemed to be of the “yellowish” pulp variety. Something like the paper from cheap paperback books of the 1970′s. It’s “brightness” scale is probably in the order of 70% – 80% (check out the brightness of printer paper you buy from an office supply store, if you don’t know what I mean). In addition, the print is small, and the text is not crisp or dark. This makes it difficult for me to read, especially in dim light.
In summary:
The content is excellent, and for someone who is learning the new Word interface, it will server them well. It will also help those who are used to word already. The physical characteristics of the book could be improved, to allow easier reading. Would be ideal as a e-book for the Kindle!?

While some people never read computer manuals, I’ve found that unless I do read them I never try anything new with the application. Word 2007 Bible brings you up to date with all the changes made to this fine word-processing software. In fact, I enjoyed the CD that came along with it the best! It was like having a private training course but doing it at your own speed. My need to know how to do various types of presentations is expanding. Now with Word 2007 Bible, I know I will be ready for the challange.
