I don’t intend for you to read this book from cover to cover. It’s not a novel,
and if it were, it would be a musical novel and you’d be required to sing the
songs and go through the dances with all the characters in a book and, quite
honestly, I don’t think that the people near you would let you get away with it.
This book is a reference. Each chapter covers a specific topic or task that
Word does. Within a chapter, you find self-contained sections, each of which
describes how to perform a specific task or get something done. Sample sections
you encounter in this book include:
Saving your stuff
Moving a block of text
Quickly finding your place
Aligning paragraphs
Cobbling a table together quickly
Creating a table of contents
Adding topics to your outline
There are no keys to memorize, no secret codes, no tricks, no videos to sleep
through, and no wall charts. Instead, each section explains a topic as though
it’s the first thing you read in this book. Nothing is assumed, and everything
is cross-referenced. Technical terms and topics, when they come up, are
neatly shoved to the side, where you can easily avoid reading them. The idea
here isn’t for you to learn anything. This book’s philosophy is to help you
look it up, figure it out, and get back to work.
