Word 97 Annoyances (A Nutshell handbook) Book

The problem with Word 97 is that Microsoft designed it to be all things to all people. And everyone knows what results when you try to do that--you end up pleasing no one. Fortunately, the company also made Word reasonably customizable. Word users with the proper information can tweak the application so it looks and behaves to their liking. Word 97 Annoyances shows you how to make the necessary adjustments. Say you're annoyed with the fact that there's a File Open button on the Word toolbar, but no corresponding File Close button. Word 97 Annoyances shows you how to remedy that shortcoming. Or say you've had it with Word's tendency to hide filename extensions. The book shows you how to fix that, too. Ditto for getting formatting to look right, incorporating nonstandard characters, and dealing with macro viruses. What's more, this book's tutorial on Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)--the tool you use to customize Word in many cases--ranks among the best out there. You'll learn a lot from it and will soon be writing automation routines to beat the band. There's good news for Word 98 and Word 2000 users, too: Many of the tips in this book apply to your programs. Read it, implement its suggestions, and watch your Word time become more enjoyable and productive. --David WallRead More
