Microsoft® Word 2007 Bible

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Jim Minatel, Wiley's acquisition editor, who e-mailed me asking if I'd be interested in writing this book, and for letting me write the whole thing from scratch. Many thanks to Rosanne Koneval and others at Wiley who patiently repaired my dropped word endings and other grammatical lapses without scolding me, and who endured through hundreds and hundreds of pages. Thanks also to Mike Maxey and others at Microsoft who were quick to answer my questions about whether things I observed in the Beta version of Word 2007 were features or bugs.

Special thanks go to my technical editor, Dian Chapman (www.mousetrax.com), a fellow Microsoft MVP whose careful technical and nontechnical editing of the Word 2007 Bible has kept me honest and on track. Having been a technical editor for a number of books, I know from personal experience how hard it can be, especially when the underlying software is not yet in finished form. Dian is a talented and special friend who eagerly agreed to help with this book without knowing how many pages it would end up being. Thanks also to Greg Chapman, another Microsoft MVP and Dian's husband, whom Dian drafted into service on more than one occasion. Finally, Dian, please thank your dogs, cats, and other assorted animal friends for allowing you to spend so much time on this book.
