This book does cover the full range of Word 6 functions.  But it doesn't go
beyond the documentation, in most cases doesn't equal the documentation, and
doesn't provide much tutorial value.
 
A case in point is the vital topic of paragraphs.  The introduction doesn't
even mention paragraph (or section) formatting.  The early allusions to the
paragraph marker note it only as one of the "nonprinting" characters.  There is
no reference to the wealth of formatting data that a paragraph marker "carries"
until chapter six.  A mention of the difference between [Return] and
[Shift][Return] fails completely to explain the distinction.
