The Internet Assistant add-on module for MS Word is a very simplistic HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) tool, and this book fits very neatly with the IA
target audience.  It is a simple, lock-step, keystroke by keystroke guide to
the HTML production portion of Internet Assistant.
 
This approach only works well, of course, with the page markup aspect of Web
page production.  The sections on forms and CGI (Common Gateway Interface)
programming really only tell half the story, and even the creation of anchor
links is a slightly more complicated task than the book makes out.
 
Unlike Ross, in "The Underground Guide to Microsoft Internet Assistant" (cf.
BKMSINAS.RVW), Dornfest does not delve deeply into the intricacies of the use
of IA as a browser and so forth.  On balance this is a good thing, since it
allows the book to concentrate on a field independent approach, and the simple
page layout where IA is strongest.
