The WYSIWYG Concept

THE WAY WORD FOR WINDOWS WORKS is the newest title in the highly visual
WYSIWYG Guide series from Microsoft Press. WYSIWYG (pronounced Wizzy-Wig)
stands for "What You See Is What You Get," an acronym that describes the
on-screen style of personal computing made popular by both the Microsoft
Windows operating system and the Apple Macintosh In the world of
computers, WYSIWYG means "What You See" on the computer screen is exactly
"What You Get" on the printed page. With the WYSIWYG Guides, what you see
on the page is what you'll experience on the computer screen. Forthcoming
titles in the series include The Way Microsoft Excel for Windows Works and
The Way Multimedia Works.

What's Inside

Computer users first learn about the program itself and the elements that
appear in the Word application window. Then they learn the basic skills
for creating a simple letter--their first Word for Windows document. From
then on, users learn to perform a variety of increasingly complex tasks,
such as designing and incorporating images in documents, performing a mail
merge, and much more. Screen shots and dialog boxes accompany step-by-step
instructions to show exactly how the computer screen should look at a
particular stage in an operation. Tips and shortcuts in easily
identifiable colored boxes are strategically located throughout the book.
And the WYSIWYG Wizard--an amusing cartoon character--pops up just when
he's needed most, dispensing helpful tips and friendly advice to help
readers get the most out of Word for Windows. At the back of the book, a
reference section includes essential information on installing a printer
and customizing Word for Windows to suit individual needs. A comprehensive
index helps readers quickly look up topics of interest.
