From the Author

A relentless focus on making you more productive w/ Word
I truly appreciate your considering my book on Word 97.

My book has only one goal: to make you the most productive Word user on the block. What's the fastest, easiest way to get the job done? How can you streamline and automate all those annoying tasks you've been doing by hand? How can you do more with Word than you ever thought possible? That's what you'll find here.

For example, I've included real-world case studies on using styles and templates to organize all the documents you (and your organization) create. I tell you how Microsoft suggests you handle chapter numbering in your documents – and some far easier solutions that'll do the job 98% of the time.

You'll learn how you can search/replace just about anything – pictures, styles the contents of your clipboard – and how that can save you tons of time. Ditto for AutoText – a spectacular timesaver. Lots of Word users know about AutoText, but few take full advantage of it. I'll show you how.

There's detailed coverage of using Word 97 as a Web editor – plus all those "traditional" ways to communicate with lots of people, like mail merge, fax and E-mail. If you build large, complex documents, I think you'll appreciate the detailed coverage of outlining, master documents, tables of contents, captioning, indexing, footnotes, and cross-reference – with lots of practical examples. You'll also find lots of troubleshooting tips for when Word's features don't quite behave the way they're supposed to.

This book has three additional advantages.

First, unlike many Word books, this one didn't come out until well after Word 97 was released – so it reflects real-world experience and troubleshooting with the final product, not an unfinished beta.

Second, the CD-ROM contains four bonus electronic books: Platinum Edition Using Windows 95, Special Edition Using Windows NT Workstation 4, and slightly older (but still very helpful) Que books on Internet Explorer and FrontPage.

Finally, and I hope the most important advantage: this is now my fourth book on Word. Over the last eight years I've spent a *lot* of time watching people work with Word – seeing what they understand, what confuses them, and what they *really* need to know to get results. I've tried to reflect all that experience here.

I'm proud of how this book turned out, and I sincerely hope you'll find it valuable. Many thanks for considering it.
