Writing a Book Or Thesis in Microsoft Word Some Important Tasks and Difficulties

The purpose of this book is to help you find in Word a valuable tool instead of an obstacle, to enjoy using it while you become familiar with some powerful aspects of this great editor. The order of the main sections reflects the order an author may like to observe. Assuming you enjoy some familiarity with Word, I skip functions such as how to change the style of a paragraph: the book is not for experts, but also not for absolute beginners; I'm not providing an exhaustive presentation of Word's abilities and disabilities. Everywhere emphasis is given to common mistakes and to ways of letting the program be effective, achieving easily tasks that may otherwise need a lot of time, especially when a document is large and complex.
