Product Information
Microsoft Word 2000 is a massive program. It does a lot. But the truth is that you don't need to know everything about Word to use it. A better question is: Do you want to know everything about Microsoft Word? Probably not. You don't want to know all the command options, all the typographical mumbo-jumbo, or even all those special features that you know are in there but terrify you. No, all you want to know is the single answer to a tiny question. Then you can happily close the book and be on your way. If that's you, you've found your book. Good news: This book is not meant to be read from cover to cover. Microsoft Word 2000 For Dummies is full of self-contained sections, each of which describes how to perform a specific task or get something done. Sample sections you encounter in this book include *Saving your stuff *Cutting and pasting a block *Quickly finding your place *Aligning paragraphs *A quick way to cobble a table together *A caption for your figure *Step-by-step mail merging guide There are no keys to memorize, no secret codes, no tricks, no pop-up dioramas, and no wall charts. Instead, each section explains a topic as if it's the first thing you read in this book. Nothing is assumed, and everything is cross-referenced. Technical terms and topics, when they come up, are neatly shoved to the side where you can easily avoid reading them. The idea here isn't for you to learn anything. This book's philosophy is to help you look it up, figure it out, and get back to work. This book informs and entertains. And it has a serious attitude problem. After all, the goal of the book is not to teach you to love Microsoft Word. Instead, be prepared to encounter some informative, down-to-earth explanations - in English - of how to get the job done by using Microsoft Word. You take your work seriously, but you definitely don't need to take Microsoft Word seriously.Product Identifiers

Money for old rope, for Dummies.
The author is well known as someone who could teach anything to anyone given enough time since he is meticulous and uses appropriate humour, not cringeworthy in any way, (atypical in computing educational books). An unusual virtue, we can safely say. Microsoft has had many editions of its office suite, fundamentally the same too expensive product with or without knobs on it. There are free alternatives every bit as useful and powerful but for mystifying reasons people will spend their money on the expensive Microsoft job with its litany of legal agreements in tow. Bearing in mind Microsoft Office 2000 (lets call this one the Delta variant) is not specifically IT itself, but instead about Microsoft's market leadership. And since the author is fluent in Microsoft, this book can be useful for most variants especially those students who just need a reftesher for, say, Office £365 and who wishes to avoid the politics of wider IT matters. Good author, then, excruciatingly dull subject matter. Business as usual, then.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
