Word for the Macintosh is a powerful word processing program. The newest release, version 6, makes it even easier to create better-looking documents. The look of the program itself has been improved, too, with many enhancements to the interface (the new interface has been designed as an alternative to pull-down menus). Like the other books in Peachpit Press"s Visual QuickStart series (more than 600,000 copies are currently in print), Word 6 for Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide takes a largely visual approach in explaining this new program. Word 6 for Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide covers the basic, everyday features of Word, including editing, formatting, typography, graphics, file management, tables, tables of contents, and indexes. It also covers the new macro feature (users can now write a macro in one application to control functions in the other). Because the book is structured as a reference rather than a tutorial, readers can look up information they need on a particular tool, command, or function and get straight to work. Word 6 for Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide is for new users and experienced users.
