It does not cover things like how 2 put a file path in the footer by using quick parts (a tab on the footer screen), if you like short cuts or know how 2 do a task other than a menu, this book is weak. I like 2 customize things & like 2 ALWAYS have a backup way of doing things, which is the way of Microsoft Products.
Do your research, but when in doubt, this book is a safe bet.
