The text is confusing. It says to click "the tab" to show and hide buttons, but it is not clear where the tab is or what it looks like, as it is not indicated in any figure, nor is it identified by a tool tip. This could be easily fixed by identifying the tab in figure 2-3. |

There is no "Not in dictionary" box; should be called the "Suggestions" box. Should refer to Figure 2-16, not 2-15. |

Again, my previous errata was incorrect. There IS a "Not in dictionary" box at the top of the "Spelling and Grammar" box. However, this is not shown in figures 2-15 or 2-16 because both show grammar, not spelling, checking. |

Option-Return is the command given for forcing Word to add another line to the cell. That doesn't work. Shift-Return does. |

The two sentences seem to refer to the same situation. In the first case, you say that Word replaces the original macro without telling you, but in the second sentence you say that Word gives you a warning. Which is correct? |

Printed | Page 106 last line of 3rd paragraph |
The page references in parentheses are incorrect. Using the ruler to set indents is described on page 128 (not 134) and to set tabs on page 134 (not 106). |

The list of styles is in the upper-left corner (not upper-right as stated). |

Printed | Page 121 Caption to fig. 3-27 |
In the first and second sentences, the word "fonts" should be changed to "styles", as noted in the text and shown in the figure itself. |

Printed | Page 137 Caption to Figure 3-41 |
This caption is incomprehensible. It refers the reader to the word "sights", but there is no such word in the figure. And it tells you to click the Font dialog box launcher in the lower-right corner, but I cannot find any such launcher, either in the figure or on my computer. |

The keyboard shortcut for inserting bookmarks is Shift-⌘-F5, not ⌘-K! I wish it *were* ⌘-K: it would be a lot more intuitive. |

The "Sized with Window" command does not get a check. It is grayed out if the chart is on the sheet with the data and it is not grayed if the chart is moved to its own sheet. |
