Teach Yourself Microsoft Word 2000 Visually details all of Word's major features. The author opens with the procedure for starting Word, typing text into a document, and then saving that document to disk. From there, she proceeds to cover text formatting (fonts, alignment, and the like), editing tools (including spelling and grammar checkers), and helpful features like search and replace. Readers learn how to insert tables and pictures into their documents and how to print them. The author also demonstrates the use and creation of simple time-saving macros.

The book utilizes graphics liberally, though they are rarely gratuitous. With a combination of screen shots and custom graphics, the full-color illustrations convey concepts as well as procedures. The author even marks up her screen shots heavily, so it's always clear which parts of Word her comments refer to. --David Wall
