Andrew Boscardin reviews the Annoyances Series for Amazon.
Not only is there the paradigm shift from the straight forward method of mechanical keys striking a carbon ribbon to the awesome creative power made available by the megabytes of software that make up Word, you have to add the fact that Word often behaves in strange, unusual, and sometimes down-right wrong ways. Roll this all together and you have the premise of this book. Word can be a colossal annoyance.
We don't think you have to be a dummy to toss up your hands in despair and curse the computer gods now and then when working with Word. We've collectively been working with this program since the beta of version 1.0 and we're here to tell you that some aspects of this program are not fully understood by the very people who developed it. Annoying hardly covers the sense of frustration Word can inspire. Ah, but you hold in your hand that which can help you lower your annoyance level.
Knowledge is power and we can up your amperage in a big hurry. Many of the most annoying habits of Word can either be worked around or fixed in a very straightforward manner. Word provides one of the most ingenious program designs ever built and with a little know how (which we'll provide) you can actually change the way Word works - make Word jump through your hoops instead of the other way around.
Along with filing off some of the rough corners that wait to snag the Word unwary, we'll take a look how Word fits into Microsoft Office as a whole and how Windows 95 itself can impact your word processing productivity. From getting Word installed properly (and being prepared to reinstall it should anything really bad happen), to dealing with Office features like the Office Shortcut Bars and the My Documents folder, to finding the latest updates and add-ons on the Web, we'll get you squared away and feeling back in control.
This book is geared towards Word users who have doggedly stumbled along, spending days trying to get Word to do simple things, getting mad at themselves for what they perceive to be their own stupidity and inadequacy in trying to make Word behave in a sane sensible manner.
There's another group of Word users, those who have been working with Word long enough to know that Redmond hath not wrought perfection and instead of getting mad at themselves they get steamed at the software for its stupidity and inadequacy. This book is for them as well.
If you've ever gotten really annoyed at Word and wondered how anyone ever achieves full guruhood with this powerful, wonderful, exasperating piece of software - this is the book for you.
