Word 2000 in a Nutshell Review, February 15 2001
At last, a unique book that is succinct, with practical, logical explanations of how to use Word. But though it is short, it is detailed enough for experienced users of word. I bought it to help me understand Word's forms and fields and it did that in record time.
