1st paragraph

view is spelled as vuiew

I've just read as far as page 29 but this is the second typo I've found. Does this mean the spellcheck
with Word 2007 is defective??????
Nevertheless I am really enjoying the book.

Figure is supposed to illustrate Quick Part Entry, but instead the illustration demonstrates "Find" "All Word Forms" ...in other words, text and graphic don't match.

under Printing Part of Your Document --"current document" section

I have been unable to find specific directions for printing a collapsed outline. I was going to do a "print page" but when I looked at the print preview first, it showed the body text which I did not want to print. I finally did try "print page" and it printed only the collapsed outline, but I lost a lot of time trying to figure it out. Others may be helped by what I wrote in my manual:

P. 179: Under "current page" in the Printing Part of Your Document section add: "You can print a collapsed outline that is showing in the window by chosing 'print current page'.(Print preview shows the body text, but it will not print.)"

P. 194: Under Expanding and Collapsing Levels, add a cross reference: "To print a collapsed outline, see page 179.)

I love the way you give instructions -- forward, instead of backward as many others do -- and using arrows instead of repeating such things as "then click on . . ." I will always look for your books when I need anything.

Nostalgia Corner

The nostalgia Cprner says that:

"In Office 2007, Microsoft wisely pulled the Office Assistant for good."

When I click on "START" and "SEARCH", the bottom option is:

"Click here to use search companion," with a picture of the dog. Clicking here gives you the old dog wagging its tail.
