Special Edition Using Corel WordPerfect 10

This is the best book!! I'm probably an intermediate user with some advanced knowledge of Word Perfect, yet I have found new things in this book that I did not know and probably would not have found on my own. Each subject is written in a clear, organized, steps 1, 2, 3, manner that anyone should be able to follow; but there are also Troubleshooting sections at the end of the chapters and (best of all) tips which will give you a deeper knowledge of the subject.I have two copies of the book, one I keep at the office and one I keep at home.

The book was excellent. I am a left brain type who likes to read through each bit and I found the explanation was simple but very effective. The hundreds of tips alone made it worth the money. So the one complaint .... ?I am a Maths teacher and use the Equation Editor as much as any other feature - it gets ONE mention in the 756 pages and that is just to refer to the fact that there is an editing mode called "Equation Editor". OK maybe Laura and Read don't have much need for writing equations but they might have found someone who does. Actually I have been using the Equation Editor for years and thought I knew everything there was to know but version 10 has some differences and I had hoped the book would help point them out. I guess I'll have to find out the hard way, again.

Another excellent entry in Acklen and Gilgen's series for WordPerfect, suberb for learning WordPerfect or as a reference on using its many features. Even though I'm a long-time WordPerfect user, I find the book invaluable. It's well-organized and clearly written with a touch of fun. I particularly appreciate that the authors' go beyond the usual click-here, check-that approach of most manuals and built-in help to explain how to get real work done in the real world. Highly recommended.
