Get Going with Word (Styles & Templates) is for beginners as well as for serious users.
Some of the subjects covered are quite advanced. The book is different to the majority of books and manuals about Word.
It deals with the core of Word: styles and templates, and how to use them. It is based on Word version 6 but users of later versions of Word will also benefit from reading this book.
Get Going with Word (Styles & Templates) is out of print but may still be available at selected retail outlets.
