In Mastering Word 97 for Windows 95 and Windows NT, Ron Mansfield takes you from basic editing and formatting tasks to advanced automation techniques. He discusses styles, tables, templates, wizards, and outlines. This guide also provides a thorough grounding in using Word as a desktop publishing tool: It explains how to create multiple-column layouts and work with tables of contents, indexes, and even tables of figures and tables of authorities for legal documents. You will learn how to use WordArt to create graphics and special text effects, how to use the Microsoft Photo Editor, and how to add bookmarks, captions, and cross-references. The discussions of Word"s mail merge, long-document, and workgroup collaboration features, which include master documents, revision tracking, and version tracking, are also useful. Mansfield provides an in-depth explanation of how to create forms, including those for online use, and provides details on using field codes, creating macros, and using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and ActiveX controls. The book also teaches you how to create HTML pages in Word and gives you tips on design, type, lists, HTML tags, graphics, tables, and forms. At the end of the book is a Master"s Reference, a mini-manual with common features and step-by-step usage instructions that are arranged alphabetically.
