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.
