[comp.sys.mac] What is publisher/ISBN of "Definitive Guide to Word"

peter@aucs.UUCP (Peter Steele) (11/03/88)

I can't seem to locate an ad for the book on Microsoft Word "The Definitive
Guide to Microsoft Word" (or something like that--I don't call the exact
title). Would someone be so kind and give me the publisher and ISBN for
this text (the correct title would be nice as well)? Thanks.

The real title is: Working with WORD. (The rest is a sub-title). It's an
attractive Blue background with pink to lavender on the WORD part (which
is about all you'll notice on the bookshelf). Authors are Chris Kinata
and Gordon McComb.

It's a great book to sit down and read, but don't expect to use it as a
well-indexed reference. For example, the advertisements I've seen point
out how you can recover files you thought you had lost. I have yet to
find that information and looked under every possible index term I could
think of.

Regarding the index: they produced the book with Word, so you can't expect
a comprehensive index. Word doesn't do indexes well because it doesn't do
memory well.
