The book points out that it is *not* a tutorial on Word.  It is a reference to
remind users already familiar with the program of specific functions and how to
access them.  The "tasks" chosen do give complete coverage of Word functions
(excluding programming), but do not delve into the applications quirks.
 
A troubleshooting guide and illustrations of various onscreen entities of Word
are helpful references--comprising thirty-six pages, even before the title
page!  The individual tasks are well-presented, giving a description,
assumptions made about where the user is in the process, exceptions to the
assumptions, the steps to take, what to do if something goes wrong, and other
related tasks to check out.  The writing is complete and clear.  The index
could and possibly should have been expanded, since it lists tasks only by Word
jargon, and thus you have to know what Word calls a function in order to find
out about it.
