Are you interested in exploring the inner workings of the world's most
powerful word processor? Mystified by bad-tempered bugs and commands
that don't work the way the documentation says they should? Want to
make WinWord work better, faster, and smarter? You've come to the right
place--the incomparable Woody Leonhard (grand wizard of Word for
Windows), Vincent Chen, and Scott Krueger are your guides to WinWord
Enlightenment.
Hacker's Guide to Word for Windows is the comprehensive, tell-it-like-it-really-is reference for WordBasic, the programming language behind
Word for Windows. Practically every page contains previously
undocumented information about Word for Windows, including bugs, gaffes,
gotchas, and workarounds that can save you hours of frustration. This
second edition, which covers both versions 2.0 and 6.0 of WinWord,
includes a glossary of the most commonly asked questions and an all-new
section on dynamic dialogs. If you want to make Word for Windows be all
it can be (and then some!) the Hacker's Guide to Word for Windows is for
you.
Hacker's Guide to Word for Windows comes with a bonus disk containing
the shareware version of WOPR (Woody's Office POWER Pack), which
includes some of the most valuable Word for Windows utilities ever
developed, plus:
 a Toolbar Editor that lets you create, store, organize and use
Toolbar buttons
a File Manager that lets you copy, move, print, delete, rename, and
preview files or create a new directory from inside Word
Enveloper, an envelope-printing utility that gives you control of the
envelopes you design--put the barcode where you want it, mix fonts, or
include your logo on your envelopes
and much more!
"Word for Windows users rejoice, WOPR has something for everyone."
-PC Computing
Also included on the disk is the HACKER6 library--over 50 macros that
add missing functionality to Word for Windows.
