San Mateo, CA--March 10, 1992--IDG Books Worldwide today announced the
publication of Macworld Guide to Microsoft Word 5, a complete guide to
Word 5 for beginning through advanced users. Written by Jim Heid, Macworld
magazine's award winning "Getting Started" columnist, it's organized by
topic, so users can quickly look up information on particular tasks
without reading the book sequentially.

"Jim Heid not only shows you how to work smarter but also helps you learn
more effectively with his thoughtful and concise presentation," said
Adrian Mello, Executive Editor, Macworld magazine. "You'll find no better
guide to Microsoft Word."

The book's topics are organized into four sections, "Word Basics," "Editing
and Proofing," "Advanced Formatting," and "Streamlining Your Work." This
last section shows users how to manage documents on their hard disk,
create templates, exchange information with other programs, and customize
Word for their needs.

Within each topic, an Overview provides a summary of the task at hand, the
Step-by-Step section gives concise, step-by-step instructions for
mastering specific functions, and Quick Tips provide tips and insights to
help users maximize the power of Word.

The guide also includes a unique task index that helps users quickly find
specific instructions for particular tasks, and a pull-out Quick Reference
Card of Word 5 shortcuts and tips. The book's lay-flat binding allows
users to easily refer to the book while working at their computer.

The Macworld Guide to Microsoft Word 5 is the newest addition to IDG Books'
Macworld Series of books, which includes the critically acclaimed Macworld
