New Perspectives on Microsoft Office Word 2003, Comprehensive, CourseCard Edition.......2006-04-29
This book is a great reference to learn Word program. The book has exercises, reviews, and cases for each chapter.
You can download the text files to assist with completing the exercises and reviews.
This book also has a CourseCard to provide to the user an easy reference to the program operation steps without referring constantly to the book.
The book is spiral bound that will provide easy access and page turning for the user.
I recomend this book for anyone studying Word and its features.

Exploring Microsoft Office 2003 Vol. 1 by Robert Grauer.......2005-09-27
Book as described and in good condition; received it in a timely fashion. Would buy from again.
An Extended Handbook to Microsoft Office........2005-05-03
EXPLORING MICROSOFT OFFICE 2003 VOLUME 1 is a textbook that is basically an extended handbook on Microsoft Office. The book has what I would consider six major sections: basics of Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, the Internet and the world wide web, and some essential computing concepts. The sections dealing with Windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint contain all kinds of helpful hands-on exercises. The Internet and essential computing concepts sections don't have quite as many exercises and contain a little more book rather than hands-on knowledge. To be completely honest, this book is rather boring to read and work through on one's own. However, when used in conjuncture with a class, it makes a great tool.

Good Experience.......2007-05-22
I placed my order and was pleased to see that it was processed in a timely fashion and I recieved my book in the time predicted in the condition described by the merchant.
Has been very helpful. .......2007-03-12
Several years back, probably more than ten, I read one of the "for Dummies" books. It's been so long ago, I don't even remember what the book was about, but I do remember that I was very disappointed in it. For that reason, I've always steered away from this series of books. However recently, I found myself in need of WORD 2003 FOR DUMMIES by Dan Gookin. I have to admit that I have been shocked by just how good this book is.
I'm not a techie person by any means, and that makes me perfect this book. It is written in easy to understand terms and takes otherwise complex issues down to their basic level of simplicity. So far, I have turned to this book maybe half a dozen times and in each case, have mastered the subject with little difficulty.
If you're like me, this may not be a book that you read through, but it is certainly one that you will reference as the need occurs. To that end, I am very satisfied with this book. I have certainly changed my mind about this series of books. I know different people write these books, but my first experience was so disappointing, I judged all of these books by their cover.

Too Simplistic.......2007-01-09
I found this book to be too simple to be useful. It is truly for those who have not used Word, not for those who have some proficiency and are hoping to learn more about all the features of Word 2003. This is the first of the "Dummies" books I have purchased--and it will be the last!

Another Great 'Bible'.......2007-06-27
These books are thorough, as is this. It is a compendium that I always keep at my desk.
Great Word Book.......2007-01-05
This is one book that the Word user should have in their library. I especially like the fact that it is the only book I have found that addresses the subject of field codes in some depth. It is a good source and the explanations are detailed enough for any user to follow. You won't be disappointed buying this book for sure!
Very pleased .......2006-07-24
The book is excellent. I had just upgraded the program and needed a book for support. I've already used it to help me with some obscure setups doing my newsletter. Frank Reid
Word 2003; A Great User's Manual for a so-so product.......2005-09-15
I have to admit my bias up front; Wiley Publishing produces quality books, and I always give them the benefit of any doubt. Likewise, their "Bible" books on Microsoft software are as good as one can find anywhere, and I would include Brent Heslop's, David Angell's, and Peter Kent's effort on MS Word as being as close to the definitive standard as one can hope for. Unfortunately, MS Word has more glitches than authors have time to write about, so troubleshooting Word takes much longer than a quick reference to this book might seemingly require. In fact I bought the book with the idea of establishing a dialogue with the authors about Word's disfunctionalities that they do not address, and perhaps may be unaware of. On the other hand, reading the book and practicing what it teaches is the best way to become proficient, and to be able to converse intelligently with others about the nagging, intractable issues that prompted some of us to buy the book in the first place. At something over 900 pages, users should expect to spend a great deal of time absorbing the knowledge that the authors impart. Even though I have been a Word user for more than ten years, I'm confident that this book will be a constant reference on my desk, either until I retire, or, more likely, a new version of Word comes out, and, Sisyphus-like, then we start all over again.
What I would like to see is a book along the same lines that addresses trouble-shooting Word, in its various manifestations. With its multitude of ways of accomplishing specific tasks, Word, to me at least, resembles a house with many doors and passages linking its various rooms, but with a leaky roof, and various other structural anomolies that make using it frequently difficult. For example, on page 746, the authors discuss trouble-shooting peripheral devices, such as scanners. Not much is said about the primitive scanning program that Word includes in its suite of tools that may, or may not, interface will with scanning software. Now, one could say that's a mere quibble, as practiced users can generate Word documents very nicely. Well, true, but some of us do need to include non-Word pages in our documents, and store them along with our self-created ones in the same file. What to do. In the past I was able to import those materials as graphics onto blank Word pages; but keeping them in place can be problematic and often tenuous at best. I think authors of practice manuals like this one should be our advocates as well, someone who can grab Microsoft product managers by the collar and say to them, "Fix this! And while you're about it, do this or that also."
Another glitch, and one that I live with every day, is Word's tendency toward corruption in its Normal file, so that customized toolbars do not last beyond a particular session. Why this happens, I have no idea; but others experience the same problem, and they have no answers, either. I pray that the Authors will see their way clear to addressing this issue, because without it, all their good advice about how to modify toolbars and templates goes for naught. Another well-known Microsoft critic, Woody Leonhard, does just that, and I'm ever-hopefull that Messers Heslop, Angell, and Kent will pick up the cudgel, and beat Microsoft out of its mediocre ways.
Dian Chapman, Word MVP, recommends it!.......2003-10-17
Funny, the link said "be the first to review this book" and I may have literally been one of the first. I was lucky enough to review it pre-press. I love the Bible software series and my previous Word versions of this book are loaded with post-its and always close at hand. In fact, I not only recommend this book here, and on my www.mousetrax.com/books.html web page, but allowed them to use my name on the cover. (And Word MVP, Herb Tyson, was Technical Editor...what more could you ask for!
)
All Word 2003 users should have and keep this book handy!

Anyone can conquer their computer with this book.......2007-07-13
When I started college as an older student I had never been on a computer. This book which is used as a textbook at my college was a lifesaver. You will learn the basics that are needed for college or for employment. I have to say the diagrams/photos that accompany every step are what puts this book above all others. If the pictures did not match what was on my computer I could go back and see what I needed to change. I work as a mentor for women in a non-profit program and use this book to teach them the skills they will need in the workplace. I recommend this book to anyone who needs to learn or to polish their computer skills.
horrible.......2007-01-10
I bought this book for a class I was taking and it arrived in bad shape.First, it took forever to get to me and it arrived all beat up. The book had water damage. It looked like it was through a flood or something. This made me hesitant on whether to buy any used books again.
NO DISK FOR CLASS.......2006-07-05
THIS TEXT BOOK DOES NOT COME WITH THE REQUIRED DISK FOR COMPLETING PROJECTS REQUIRED FOR THE COLLEGE CLASSROOM.
Confusing, and at times inaccurate.......2006-03-22
I used this book for an online class, books and test are bundled together and each time I took the test I had to challenge at lest one question, because it was simply wrong or inaccurate. Test quiz/test questions are non constructive for the most part. Many examples use non-standard fonts that hard to find, making assignments unnecessarily difficult to complete, in some exercises after following all instructions the correct result would not match the examples given again creating difficulty not needed. This books suited for online classes because it often gives instructions which are completely irrelevant in such environment. The books gives a good amount of tips and tricks about MS Office, books needs revising and grouping of lessons.

This reference book is a must have for anyone learning or needing the support for Windows 2003.

Waste of $.......2006-02-16
I had previously purchased Microsoft Office Step-By-Step and Microsoft Office Specialist Study Guide. I bought Word SBS along with Excel SBS, Access SBS, and PowerPoint SBS hoping that they would be more in depth for a novice user like myself who wants to build my skills and learn the intricacies of MS Office. Imagine my surprise, when after opening the CDs to all and loading them onto my computer, the exercises are the same as in the first two books I bought. They can't be sent back since the seal is broken on the disk packaging.
Apparently the easier concepts of Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint are collected into MS Office SBS and the more difficult concepts are collected into MS Office Specialist Study Guide.
On a good note, this series is easy to understand and not difficult to use. They really do provide step by step instructions.
However, I wish this series would allow the user to take a project from start to finish. I don't think just following the directions in the exercises has provided me with the skills to complete projects on my own.
The moral of this story is: If you are looking for a book to provide the basics of Word (and Excel, Access, PowerPoint), save your money and buy MS Office SBS and Office Specialist Study Guide. They are to only two books you really need. If you want books that provide more details or are more skill specific, look for something else.

Customer Reviews:
Good as a reference book, not a hands on learning guide.......2007-06-18
I just ordered this book to prepare me for the Microsoft certification exams. I've just flipped through it, but I don't think I'll be able to use it. It has very detailed sections on how to do things within Word, but I need more of a workbook. I expected the CD to contain exercises, but upon inspection it's just a PDF version of the book and some "extras." If you want a workbook version with exercises to do, I just purchased the PowerPoint version of the Step by Step series, and I think I'll have to order the Word version of that.
Tons of information but not well written or in-depth enough.......2007-01-13
I'm a fan of Microsoft Press's "Inside Out" series and own half a dozen books (or maybe more) from it. I bought this book to become an expert at Word 2003, but I found that while the book covers a lot of ground, it lacks depth on many topics. And it's writing style is quite confusing. For example, I tried to understand how to customize headers and footers by section, and after reading and re-reading the parts of the book that deal with this topic several times, I stil couldn't figure out. In the end, I just experimented on my own. Word is a complex piece of software. This book unfortunately does a poor job at making Word easier to learn, even for someone like myself who was already quite proficient with the software at the basic-intermediate level.
