This book is not intended to be an "Everything you will ever need to know" about Microsoft Word 2007, although in some cases it might be. It is as the name implies a "beginner's guide" to Word 2007. This book has two purposes: First to provide the inexperienced user with a working knowledge of Word 2007, so Word becomes more that just a way to write a letter. The second purpose is to explain the new user interface, the Ribbon. I hope this helps.
