“Some of the sharpest, most useful tidbits about Microsoft Word I’ve ever
seen. Jack Lyon does a superb job of presenting expert-level instruction at
a level almost any Word user can manage.” — Dan A. Wilson, The Editor’s
Desktop
“This is not your usual ‘Ctrl+B will make characters bold’ stuff. This is serious
information for people who regularly use Word to edit serious material.”
—Tom Anderson, “Word Help for Professional Editors,” Sacra Blue.
“Jack Lyon is quite simply the Microsoft Word Jedi Master: Obi-Jack. He
automates tasks in Word that would be hard to do ‘by hand’—and in
some cases, just flat out wouldn’t be possible to do. If you use Word to do
your job, like me, and have wished that Word ‘could only do this or only
do that’ . . . check it out.” — Doug Clapp, PocketPCPress
