When most people think of word processing, they think of Microsoft Word. After all, it has been around for more than 20 years-practically an eternity in computer time. But Word has also provided its users-nearly everyone on the face of the planet-with an endless supply of annoyances. That is, until now. "Word Annoyances" offers to the point (and often opinionated) solutions to your most vexing editing, formatting, printing, faxing, and scanning problems. It covers everything from installation and templates to tables, columns, and graphics. For example, learn how to stop Word from searching the Web for help, and how to enter the same text easily in multiple parts of a document-and keep it updated automatically. It also provides a gentle introduction to the power of macros so you can slay your annoyances by the truckload. The fixes will work with most versions of Word, including Word 2000, Word 2002 (also known as Word XP), and Word 2003.

Among the topics covered:

Deal with installation issues, crashes, and slowdowns, and dispose of the Office Assistant-either temporarily or forever.

Master templates, numbering, graphics, hyperlinks, tabs, tables, headers, and other everyday annoyances.

Tame some of Word's wiliest features, such as Smart Cut and Paste, Click and Type, Mail Merge, AutoCorrect, and AutoText.

Printing, Faxing, and Scanning-need we say more?

Learn to output and distribute your documents with confidence.

Need to work with other Microsoft applications or Macs? You'll find annoyances dealing with Excel, PowerPoint, and Access, as well as a whole chapter just on Mac Word.

About the Author

Guy Hart-Davis has been using Microsoft Word for more than 15years, during which time he has seen its capabilities increase steadily and its annoyances increase exponentially.

In this book he shares secrets that will quell calm your colleagues, impress your friends, and confound your enemies.

A dissertation is the crowning achievement of years of graduate study. But many graduate students struggle long hours with formatting their dissertations properly. This book guides a graduate student, step by step, thorough the process of using Microsoft Word to produce a dissertation that meets the requirements of the student's graduate school -- the first time it's submitted. Throughout, the book uses real-world examples of formatting requirements from actual graduate schools, and is amply illustrated to provide a visual guide to working through Microsoft Word. Tips and tricks about Word will help a graduate student devote time to the content of the dissertation, not its formatting.

Here is a guide to help students exploit IT to aid their studies. It demonstrates how information and communication technologies can help with writing, analysis, research, communication and presentation. Most students will know how to word process but not how to exploit word processing applications to write longer documents, add footnotes, insert tables, create indexes, track changes, or add figures, and may have not used a spreadsheet to analyze data. Focusing on Microsoft Office programs, this book will help students develop intermediate or advanced IT skills in those areas most relevant to studying.
