Customer Reviews

Has been very helpful.

Several years back, probably more than ten, I read one of the "for Dummies" books. It's been so long ago, I don't even remember what the book was about, but I do remember that I was very disappointed in it. For that reason, I've always steered away from this series of books. However recently, I found myself in need of WORD 2003 FOR DUMMIES by Dan Gookin. I have to admit that I have been shocked by just how good this book is. I'm not a techie person by any means, and that makes me perfect this book. It is written in easy to understand terms and takes otherwise complex issues down to their basic level of simplicity. So far, I have turned to this book maybe half a dozen times and in each case, have mastered the subject with little difficulty. If you're like me, this may not be a book that you read through, but it is certainly one that you will reference as the need occurs. To that end, I am very satisfied with this book. I have certainly changed my mind about this series of books. I know different people write these books, but my first experience was so disappointing, I judged all of these books by their cover.

Essential Reference Book for Everyone with a PC

I got a promotion with added responsibility after updating several company-wide manuals and procedural handbooks, thanks to "Word 2003 for Dummies" because this book helped me construct elaborate and professional-looking documents. I was able to teach myself how to insert a table of contents and an index within about an hour, and I was also able to construct documents with different headers and footers pertaining to specific units. This book literally saved my job. :)

Useful to have on hand

I just got a new computer and needed a new Dummies book because I'm a dummy. I have already used this book to solve several problems. Windows XP is quite different from Windows 98 so this is a must have on my desk. Easy to use.

Great Book!

Being a total dummy about computers, I bought this book so I could learn to use the Word program included on it. It's just wonderful. You can go page by page for a testbook-lesson esperience, or just look up what you need to do in the index. I would buy this book again if this one were destroyed. I recommend it to you.

Dan Gookin...best computer author around!

I wasn't sure which Word 2003 book to buy because there are a lot to choose form. So I checked around to see which author could help me the best. No contest. I had no idea how many awesome computer books Dan Gooken had written! The best new thing about Word 2003 has to be what you can do with smart tag now. It's great to be able to customize them.
