Note the Visually series has an unusual but effective approach – explanations are annotated screenshots. Therefore, this reference is one example only – it is important to find the book that matches your specific version of Microsoft Office. To more effectively exploit the templates in these Extras, you should verify that you understand Sections, Styles, Fields, Properties, Mail Merge Manager and Non-Printing Characters within Microsoft Word, plus Validation, Fill and Filter within Microsoft Excel.
