As the most complete and engaging tutorial available for Microsoft Word, this invaluable guide can assist users of all expertise levels. You'll work out with Word at your own pace, adding valuable knowledge and skills with each session, and you'll never take on more than you can handle with your Personal Trainer next to you. To launch your training program, the Word 2003 Personal Trainer includes sections on editing text, as well as formatting characters, paragraphs, and pages. It also covers these other Word fundamentals: - Templates
- WordArt

 Excellent book! April 5, 2008
D. Kostopoulos (KC, MO USA)
This is a a very good book for the beginner to intermediate level student, and it also includes some advanced features of word not found in other books of this kind. The CD also helps tremendously with hands-on exercises that will teach you all you need in order to use the MS word effectively. Unfortunately there is not a word 2007 edition published yet.

Errata! Errata! Errata! Some of the most unhelpful errata I've come across. Some of the mistakes are just sloppy, some are sad - how do you mix up whole sections? These were professional printers, right? Where was quality control, editors, proofers? Like a foolish woman marrying a dangerous man, I found all this out AFTER committing to it. No, really.
At first glance I thought this would be an excellent series because everything seemed so concise and well-plotted. That's why I went ahead and bought the PowerPoint 2003 Personal Trainer without working with the Word trainer first. But heavens to murgatroyd!
Sometimes it just leaves you hanging - you'll get a curt "this figure is incorrect" and NOTHING telling you where the correct figure is. For one such piece of errata you are directed to a page within the site where you can print out the correct figure, but that kind of consideration isn't consistent. One piece of errata informs you that the text is cut off ... and doesn't bother to tell you what it was to have said. Sloppy!!
Good thing I backed these books up with the excellent 'Professional Approach' series published by McGraw Hill. I've been able to get Word, PowerPoint, and Excel at good prices through the Amazon marketplace vendors, otherwise these books cost. Sure it takes two hands to lift, but they're thorough and the errata is truly errata, not something the editor should've sent to his staff in a routine memo. The 'Professional Approach' series is not without some fault and I'll comment on them soon, but be very careful with this Personal Trainer series, Word Personal Trainer in particular.
I gave this book two stars because another reviewer likes the programming section. I don't recall errata for this section, so maybe I'm good to go with that. Otherwise, no matter how pretty the pictures, no matter how cool the little interactive thingamajingy - this kind of thing makes me nuts! Its presentation drags it down.
Because I knew I may have a timebomb on my hands with the PowerPoint Trainer I moseyed on over to look for its errata page and it's stated that there is none - yet. Uh oh.

I did not receive a CD with the Word 2003 Personal Trainer Book. One of the main reason I chose this book is it comes with a tutorial CD. If you are thinking you will receive a CD double check.
