The Elements of Word, 2nd and 3rd Editions

When I decided to put what I learned about Microsoft Word into book form, I immediately thought of an e-book. An advantage to an e-book is that it can be opened in a separate window and referred to while working on a Word document.

To date, the books have been purchased by Word users in the United States, the Netherlands, South Africa, Brazil, England, and Australia.

A Practical Guide to Microsoft Word

The 2nd Edition offers all of the solutions as the original edition and more. The 2nd edition was written for Word 2002 and 2003 (XP), though many of the techniques described also apply to earlier versions of Word.

The 3rd Edition contains the same content but was written specifically for Word 2007.

In both you will find easy to follow, step-by-step instructions and illustrations to help you with many areas of interest:


The Elements of Word is a practical guide for the users of Microsoft Word already familiar with its fundamentals. It is a concise guide for people who want to use Word more effectively to get their work done.

As an e-book (in PDF format) you can view it in a separate window for easy referral while working in Word. The book is also formatted for double-sided printing if you prefer to print a hard copy.

And the book isn't all you get! The self-extracting zip file that you download contains the PDF, a custom toolbar, example macros, sample database for the merge exercise, sample User Forms, and all of the book's individual chapters (Word .doc files) to demonstrate how books can be created using Word. Other author's books talk about examples; my book is an example.

The cost of each edition is just $9.95. A Book Version ID and a Registration Number will be e-mailed to you upon receipt of payment so that you can immediately download the self-extracting zip file.

All payments made online are processed through a secure server. All major credit cards are accepted:
