Formatting Legal Documents With MS Word 2010 book coming soon!

Update as of 1/12/2012: The book, which I published at the end of May, 2010, is available on Amazon.com at this URL and on Lulu.com at this URL. Remember that it’s a print-on-demand (POD) book, which means the book must be printed before it can be shipped. Printing typically takes 3-5 days. Be sure to allow for that extra time when you order a copy from Amazon or Lulu.

My new book, Formatting Legal Documents With Microsoft Word 2010, is progressing well and should be available around the time that Microsoft officially releases Office 2010.  (The suite is slated for release to businesses on May 12 and to individuals about a month later; I’m hoping to publish the book sometime around the middle of May, though it could be early June, depending on a variety of circumstances.)  I plan to list the book on both Lulu and Amazon; it might take slightly longer for the book to be available via Amazon.  I’ll keep you-all posted.

Already more than 100 pages longer than the Word 2007 book I published last year, the forthcoming book explores in detail the features that are new in Word 2010 or that have changed in significant respects since Word 2007.   Moreover, I’ve added a substantial amount of material that wasn’t in the first book — including tutorials about creating / printing envelopes and labels — and have expanded on (and, in some cases, clarified) several existing sections.  Based in part on feedback from people who have purchased the Word 2007 book, I have incorporated a number of additional tips and workarounds.  I’ve also inserted more screenshots to make it easier for people who are visually oriented to follow the text instructions.

If you have some constructive suggestions about specific features, shortcuts, workarounds, or tips you’d like me to cover in the Word 2010 book, drop me a note at the compusavvy2 AT earthlink DOT net address.  I’ll take your ideas under advisement, as the saying goes, and will try to implement the best ones.

Keep checking for updates.
