Word Twenty-Ten

They did it again: Microsoft has updated their Office suite, which includes yet another update to the popular Word word processor. This new version of Word carries on with the Ribbon interface made so unpopular in Word 2007. So if you didn't upgrade to Word 2007, you'll probably get Word 2010. It's a little better, has some more logical features, plus some customization. My book covers all that new stuff in a friendly, lighthearted manner that helps ease your frustrations and anxieties.
