Reviewer: “Short, but information dense”

By Blog

Spotted this review from Annie Buchanan for Microsoft Word In 30 Minutes (3rd Edition):

The book is short, but information dense. Chapters are arranged thematically: interface basics, creating saving & printing, formatting layout & design, inserting images tables & other elements, and review & collaboration. The subchapters contain step by step screenshots and directions to understand and utilize specific techniques. The text is written in simple accessible language to minimize frustration and maximize efficiency. There are bullet lists with step by step instructions as well as clear inset graphics and tables showing relevant screen shots (helpful!!). …

The author has also included relevant useful appendices with universal shortcuts and system specific shortcuts for windows and Mac OS. I wish I’d had this handbook when I wrote my thesis; it would have saved me some frustration and tears.

Four stars. There will be some information which is already familiar to readers, but very few readers will know all of the info included here. I also liked that the author presupposes no familiarity with the program already – rendering this a very good guide for beginners.
